Yes. I feel very strongly that section 88 of the Indian Act should not be mentioned in this bill. The Indian Act should not be mentioned in any way, shape or form.
Any federal initiative that seeks to rehabilitate and reform the Indian Act is so fundamentally flawed that it's just completely unacceptable. It could compromise this bill. It would compromise the support of first nations for the bill, but it could also serve to continue a system that doesn't work.
Is it required? I don't think it is required. I think the structure of the bill is adequate and that first nations laws will kick it out. There are also first nations who want to pace what they do. They don't want to just kick something out right away. That would be unstable.
