Yes, we understand that there is a deadline, and we feel that there need to be big steps.
If you were to put yourselves in our shoes, where an external delegating authority determines where you belong, it's an awful feeling when you hear testimony from families and children and all different ages of our people knowing that they do belong and there is lineage, yet through Canada's lens, they are not members of our nation.
The longer we wait, the more of our people will be impacted, and it's important that we move forward without hesitation. I agree that there should be big steps.
Thank you.
