Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I heard my colleague talk about a 2017 decision for the governance of the Cree first nation of Eeyou Istchee, for which information can be provided later.
An agreement was reached with that nation to give it more and more autonomy and powers, and even jurisdictions that belonged to Quebec and are now exercised by the Cree. No one can argue that we don't have all the information, because the agreement was made with the Cree. They're aware of it, and they agree.
We're talking about land use and economic development. I think that's absolutely positive. There's nothing stopping us from moving forward.
In closing, I know that the arguments tend to be more intellectual and therefore perhaps more clinical.
Ms. Lapierre, if possible, I'd like you to go back to the letter from young Amélie and speak on behalf of a generation that can't testify in committee. An 11-year-old child cannot appear before a committee.
I know this may be an emotional topic, but I think we're talking about human beings who have rights and who experience discrimination. I know I'm repeating myself, but I think it's extremely important. That's what makes these rights important: We are human and we stand in solidarity.
Do you want to simply talk about the impact on children?
I think that young Amélie also represents the children of every first nation.
