This is exactly the thing. It needs to be more than a performative moment, standing in New York. Carolyn Bennett literally got a standing ovation. I was the first person to stand up behind her; the entire room stood up, and the entire world was watching.
The entire world is still watching to see if the government is willing to walk the talk and make the changes. This is why the United Nations declaration is so important. It says that we have the right to determine who our own people are, our own members. This barrier, the second generation cut-off, is preventing us from exercising that right.
I truly believe the Government of Canada can continue in honour, walk the talk, be more than performative and actually make a change. This is the moment right now to show that it was more than a performative action and that it's more than just Conservatives versus Liberals. This is about Canada, what Canada stands up for on an international stage and how the world sees what Canada stands for.
