Senator Dupuis: Thank you. Senator Martin, I listened closely to your intervention and I thank you.

Regarding your second point, you say that there is no mention of economic reconciliation. When I look at the definition in clause 12, since you referenced it, it reads as follows:

(c) Indigenous organizations, as defined in section 2 of the Department of Indigenous Services Act, to reflect the diversity of arrangements that govern relationships between Indigenous communities and the Government of Canada;

In section 2 of that act, an Indigenous organization is defined as an “Indigenous governing body or any other entity that represents the interests of an Indigenous group and its members.”

Do you think the current wording of clause 12, which refers to section 2 of the Department of Indigenous Services Act, is not broad enough to include organizations that deal with economic reconciliation?

Thank you.
