Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Affairs. In the Constitution Act, section 35 recognizes the rights of aboriginal peoples of Canada, and under section 35-1, existing aboriginal and treaty rights of the aboriginal peoples of Canada are hereby recognized and affirmed. In section 35-2 of this act, aboriginal peoples of Canada include the Indian, Inuit and Metis peoples of Canada.

My question to the Minister is, does the Minister recognize the Metis as distinct, aboriginal peoples?
