Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, as a Member of committee that considered this report and that is making the recommendation, I can tell you we did have a robust discussion of the CEO's report where this was -- this idea was brought forward. Just now speaking with a colleague on the committee as well and we couldn't remember why we didn't include this, so I think this is -- I have no -- so I think this is a good motion. It's not saying that the CEO will insert themselves in, you know, sovereign government electoral processes; many Indigenous governments have custom election codes and they're governed through other authorities. But I think, as the Member says, as the mover says, having the conversation's important and we certainly don't want to leave Indigenous governments out of the conversation. So I don't see harm with this, and I will gladly support it. Thank you.
