Thank you for your question.
I refer you to the reference to the Quebec Court of Appeal on the constitutionality of the Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families. It wasn't a question of whether to adopt a provision such as the one proposed in Bill S‑13, but rather the importance of having an interpretive provision in the federal legislation. I just want to clarify that it stressed the importance that, as the minister explained, we must be careful to interpret the act in question in a way that is consistent with section 35.
