  Javier Rúa-Jovet: (17:21) <COMMENT>  the inclusion of First Nations and indigenous communities underlines the truth of the vast diversity that exists in the North America region.   NA is not only Canada, or the US.  It’s the whole multilingual and multicultural fabric of the continent, as well as the  NA jurisdictions that for political reasons are far away, like Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and others.  Thanks to the speaker for the prior intervention.
