That's the broader conversation we should all be having. Rather than focusing on certain aspects of the Indian Act, we should have a broader conversation about how we begin to move beyond the Indian Act.
As a first nations person, I'm governed by the Indian Act from the time I'm born to the time I die—to even which coffin I'll be buried in. To me, that's wrong. At some point we need to talk about.... I think about my own kids, and hopefully later on my own grandkids. I don't want them to be subject to that.
As we talk about this and certain aspects of the Indian Act, we should all be engaged in a broader conversation about how we begin to move beyond that. We've started that conversation at NAN, and I think we need to have the conversation in a much broader environment, even in committee rooms like this, to figure that out.
