Mr. Speaker, I think the member is well aware that Bill S-2 is in front of the committee for study. I welcome her input.
We are there to ensure that enfranchisement, the intention of the bill, is responded to. We continue to work closely with groups across the country, hearing their input. I am open to supporting these communities, because enfranchisement quantifies who indigenous people are under the Indian Act.
We are trying to ensure that we remove the barriers of the Indian Act for first nations people in this country. I am working on that.
