Thank you for bringing up section 10 and section 11, because I brought that up with Indigenous Services Canada, when I asked why we don't, as a federal government, just accept it when a community goes through the process of creating a membership guideline and their own custom lists. It's within their jurisdiction to do so under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, article 3, so why don't we just accept that?
As a first and guiding step, do you think an option should be that if a community accepts community members as part of their section code, our federal government should recognize them as status?
