Thanks, everyone, for being here and for participating.
Grand Chief Alatini, I don't think anyone has given you a shout-out yet for how early in the morning you had to be up in order to be present at committee. I'm not sure if you were able to witness the first hour. It's certainly forgivable if you were not.
As always, you've been very clear in your message. In your opening words, you noted “the promise and the burden of Canada's laws.” We've previously had discussions around the interface or the overlap between membership, citizenship, and status and non-status. You referred to that a bit in your one minute in the previous testimony. I wonder if you could elaborate on that, using Kluane First Nation as an example.
There are examples, for instance, of people who become citizens but are non-status, as you've described. There are also people who may be status but either are not eligible or choose not to become members. However, they have an allegiance or a hereditary relationship with Kluane First Nation. There are definitely some nuances and overlaps. I'm wondering if you could describe that for a minute or two to help us understand that difference.
