Hon. Michèle Audette: Under the Indian Act, women who marry non-Indians were expelled. I understand that, according to the document, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms will apply, but can you tell us whether Indigenous women of this nation, who are not recognized in Bills C-31, C-3 and S-3, have been reinstated, or not at all?

Senator Audette: It means that what happened in the past is a question that I should ask to the witnesses when they come to the Indigenous Peoples Committee. Thank you.
