Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses for their testimony, and we are grateful to them for having been here.
My question is for Mr. Conrad Saulis.
Mr. Saulis, I'm happy to see you back. We met two years ago when we were discussing the previous situation of the bill.
I assume you have read the report from the task force. One of the task force's recommendations is to make sure there is consultation with first nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to make the MAID system incorporate indigenous perspectives and other factors relevant to their communities. The report also notes that, to date, engagement with indigenous peoples in Canada concerning MAID has yet to occur. I understand you will be in agreement with the task force's recommendation to engage in conversations with first nations about making systems that will be culturally sensitive and that relate to the spiritual values of the first nations.
