Billy Morin at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you, Chair.

Thank you to our guests for joining us online today on this important matter.

I'm a former chief from Treaty 6 on the Prairies. What we say on the Prairies is that we've had all of these treaty rights since the late 1800s, but we're still not being treated right. I empathize with those with modern treaties, who are experiencing the same feeling.

My question is for Valerie Cross from Tsawwassen.

Simplistically, Ms. Cross, if the modern treaties were being implemented, would there be a need for a commissioner?
