I'll jump in.
Kinanâskomitin. Thank you for your question, MP Morin.
I'm here representing myself. I'm not here to speak on behalf of my nation—the Wendat nation.
We see it every day, because 87% of registered Wendat aged zero to 39 are subsection 6(2) and can't transmit.
We see it in real time, as Mario mentioned. We have kids who are non-status and are disappearing into a system. They don't have access to the same rights. They can play hockey at school, but they can't play hockey in the tournament. Try telling that to those kids and making them understand when they're in grade 2.
We're seeing it. Projections that we've worked on suggest that in the next 50 to 70 years, my voice might be among one of the last of the Wendat people. We're facing that extinction head-on.
