Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Minister, with all due respect, I must admit that you didn't convince me earlier. I'm obviously convinced of the importance of respecting the rights and treaties already signed and in force. It's essential that we continue to respect those treaties and indigenous rights. However, I still believe that section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982, already provides for that.
You referred me to a British Columbia court ruling, but I believe it's a trial court. Has the Supreme Court ever addressed this issue? Has it already indicated that legislation such as Bill S‑13 should be passed?
