This is a step in the right direction, but again, without representative representation on the board, I don't know how it could achieve any rights-based approaches at the end of the day.
I think a culturally relevant gender-based analysis needs to be applied to everything this committee does. I think consultations with indigenous women and two-spirit, transgender and gender-diverse people within the communities as to how this legislation and this board are effectively responding are important and very relevant and, beyond that, with canvassing, what specific rights could be upheld within the legislation. NWAC hasn't been consulted on the bill. We would need a lot more time to be able to review this bill in detail.
