Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Ms. Archibald, the national chief of the Assembly of First Nations.
Ms. Archibald, I want to thank you for your presentation and for your answers to the various questions so far.
I want to make sure that I understood your point in order to determine whether, from your perspective and the perspective of the Assembly of First Nations, the Emergencies Act was necessary to break up the siege taking place in Ottawa. I gather that the use of this act sets a precedent. The government could use it more often when demonstrations occur anywhere in the country. If this act, the legislative atomic bomb, is used too often, it will have ramifications and it may unfairly affect first nations members, Inuit and Métis people because of systemic racism.
Is that right?
