Madam Speaker, there are three requirements under law in this country that must be observed in the application, support or benefit. It is a three-point test. I will make it easy for everybody. I cannot do it in slogan format for my Conservative colleagues, but I will try my best.
One, someone must self-identify as an indigenous person. I, the member for Edmonton Griesbach, identifies as Métis. A person needs to pass a second test, which is that they must have a historical connection to that community. My ancestors, and we have a big fancy sheet that shows where we are from, have a historical connection to that same nation. The third test, which very few people can pass, is that the modern iteration of that community accepts them. I am from the Fishing Lake Métis Settlement, and that Métis settlement accepts me as a member. Those three qualifiers together, under the Supreme Court of Canada decision known as Powley, give that ability to understand.
