Hon. Mary Jane McCallum: I wanted to go back to Bill C-218. With C-218 and the changes made to gaming and how the province manages it, the inherent right to gaming of the Mohawk, other Ontario chiefs and the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs was impacted. When we talked to the Mohawks, they were unable to now practise this inherent right. There is a legal challenge to Ontario, which will go to court in February 2024.

So now we have C-218, and we have your bill. Will those two coexist together? How are the First Nations going to manage those two bills together?
