There have been some conversations, and I think one of the options potentially on the table that I'd like for us to discuss is the United Nations permanent forum on indigenous issues, which will be having discussions from April 15 to 26. This year, the theme is “Enhancing Indigenous Peoples' right to self-determination in the context of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: emphasizing the voices of Indigenous youth”.
I think this is something that we.... Many of us were able to go to the United Nations last year, and I thought it was great. We had a lot of very good dialogue with indigenous people from around the world, and I think it's a very informative few days. If we scheduled from the first part, from April 15 to April 18, it wouldn't take our flight budget because of the fact that all of us as MPs get at least one trip to New York—I think it's two that we're allowed per year. It would just take rooms for those members who are travelling.
I know that I have talked to our vice-chair about this, and I don't know if he's given any walking instructions to Conservatives on what this could potentially be, but I hope there would be some discussion on the possibility of our going to the United Nations permanent forum in New York on those dates.
