I'm neither a legal expert nor a specialist on the Indian Act, but the rules on descendance and belonging, which are still discriminatory, should definitely be amended as soon as possible. I prefer to let the aboriginal women's associations present their viewpoints to you. However, an effort should definitely be made to clean up the Indian Act. I also believe the clauses on heritage and land possession should also be examined.
In fact, I recommend that a group conduct a thorough examination of the Indian Act and really clean up everything the contravenes the good governance of the communities and their empowerment. I can't answer your question in detail, but it is absolutely relevant. I believe that has to be examined with the aboriginal people. It is indeed quite complicated. There are territorial rules, local powers, band councils. As we know, that's prescribed in the Indian Act. There are a lot of challenges to these forms of power, which should perhaps be rethought. A lot of work has to be done on the Indian Act.
