Mr. Speaker, the member for Winnipeg Centre is absolutely right. The motion on the floor today is actually counterproductive. It does not have the support of the Assembly of First Nations for the reasons that I enunciated earlier. For example, the motion says that the courts should take it over, whereas the Assembly of First Nations wants first nations people to be involved. First Nations people want to see a much stronger approach to reconciliation and healing.
I have a question for the member for Winnipeg Centre concerning one thing that concerns me. The scenario I worry about is that people might take the attitude that since the motion is on the floor of the House today we should all support it. We would then rush back to committee, deal with the motion by the member for Winnipeg Centre and then we would end up with two motions. In my mind, that does not seem to be very productive.
