"Correcting this account of St. Paul des Métis so that Indigenous Peoples are humanized and acknowledged is necessary to build a hospitable community that accepts differences."

Advocates for C-15, including the justice minister, note that the word veto does not appear in the bill, but this is disingenuous to the point of dishonesty. The goal of C-15 is to work towards harmonizing Canadian law with UNDRIP, and the obvious meaning of FPIC is an Indigenous veto.
