I will now turn to Mr. Lafond.
Mr. Lafond, if I understand correctly, you are a member of a committee that is currently reviewing the submissions presented by first nations during the formal engagement process. That process began in 2023. We've heard that, for many first nations, the one-parent rule may be a solution, but only a partial one.
You mentioned in your testimony that we should commit to giving first nations back the power to decide the status of their members. The engagement process is coming to an end. The advisory committee you are part of is currently considering the other solutions that have been proposed, as you mentioned.
Don't you think we have a real opportunity here to create legislation that, once and for all, would address all the challenges in a concrete and short-term manner, since we're dealing with all of these issues right now, rather than taking, as you say, temporary measures that could be changed?
