Thank you.
My first question goes to Mary Eberts. I believe the second generation cut-off is discriminatory in its restrictiveness towards first nations' passing on their descent. It's been mentioned that it's also discriminatory towards women. I haven't seen a gender analysis or a court case recently that looks at subsections 6(1) and 6(2) and says that is discriminatory either for gender or for race purposes.
You are someone who used to research this, who published on it and who was the Mi'kmaq citizenship coordinator for many years. As such, do you know if there has been a recent precedent that has stated that this specific portion of the Indian Act is discriminatory in gender or race?
