Thank you, Mr. Schmale, for being so kind as to share some time with me.
It's good to see you again, Grand Chief. I appreciate your comments.
I was going to ask you about the consultation process, but some other members beat me to that. Maybe we can circle back if you have more to say on it, but I think you really hit the nail on the head in saying in your opening remarks that we're trying to make the most discriminatory, racist piece of legislation less racist.
I'm curious to hear you expand further on how Bill S-2 fits into the broader discussion of moving away from the act itself or taking down colonial structures to allow for more empowerment and more self-determination of first nations. Could you speak to how you see Bill S-2 fitting into that broader process?
