Thank you so much for your responses.
I've looked at the bill in terms of what rights could be upheld and the failures that we see in protecting indigenous people's rights. I've been curious to see if there would be responses about how we ensure that this council is also able to monitor whether indigenous people's rights are being protected or whether we continue to be deprived of our rights.
I asked the previous witnesses about this example, and I would love to hear a response from each of you as well. I used the example of the Human Rights Tribunal's decision on the first nations children who were discriminated against. Their rights were being violated, yet the federal government is still fighting that decision.
I wonder if you would see an improvement in this bill in terms of taking a rights-based approach to monitoring some of the work that's going on with regard to reconciliation.
I'll start with GĂ©rard.
