We've been having these conversations for some time now. As I said, we had our spring assembly with the 49 chiefs of NAN in Toronto in March, where we gathered with our advisory councils, including the women's council, the youth council and the elders council. This is what they talked about—how these policies continue to harm many of our families.
That's where our direction comes from, and as I'm the grand chief of NAN, that's where my mandate comes from. I come to committee rooms like this and speak directly to those who have the authority to make these changes.
