Yes, and replace it with a modern agreement that guarantees Indigenous self-governance

Strongly agree

No, scrapping it without a consensus replacement would cause administrative chaos for First Nations

Very strongly disagree

Yes, all Canadians should be treated exactly the same under one unified set of laws
