Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Once again, I want to thank all of those who have joined us for this important discussion.
When we look at all that we've discussed today and through other meetings, we see that there are different layers of conversation, if I could phrase it that way. There's the discussion of the second generation cut-off itself as a whole. There's a discussion of this legislation and a discussion of the amendments. We've heard loud and clear, from witnesses today and at other meetings, about the desire to see this pass with the amendments that have been made in the Senate.
I want to come to you, Chief Littlechild—if I can start with you—and lean on your expertise to speak to what the substantive effect would be if those amendments were to be removed. It's a hypothetical situation so that those of us around this table, as well as Canadians and those who might be watching, can understand what that effect would be.
