Uqaqtittiji, I have a similar question. According to clauses 9 and 10, with respect to the composition and the nominations, while only four national organizations are named as being able to nominate directors, there will be five to nine other directors that can be nominated through other means. Does the member agree that these five to nine other directors can represent those other indigenous groups so they can be heard through other means?

Madam Speaker, I look forward to any time the member stands up, because she has a lot of experience and personal connection to this. Absolutely, yes. That is the purpose of establishing and having the composition on the council's board of directors. The board will establish a process for nominating and electing future directors, as well as filling the other posts. There are a lot of opportunities for others to be on the board.

Uqaqtittiji, I have a question regarding the composition and nomination that can happen. As we have discussed in the House, four national organizations can make nominations, but five to nine other directors can be nominated from others. This does not prevent other organized indigenous organizations from making their nominations. Does the member agree that these four members are sufficient to ensure there is national representation, but that others are not excluded from submitting their nominations?

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his fine speech. I would like to know his views about the council's governance and representativeness within the council. In terms of governance, the bill proposes that the board of directors be composed of a minimum of nine and a maximum of 13 directors. In terms of representativeness, the bill proposes that the board of directors include representation from first nations, Inuit, Métis, other peoples in Canada, indigenous organizations, youth, women, men and gender-diverse persons. I would like my colleague to tell me what he thinks of the council's governance and its representativeness.
