An Act Respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis Children, Youth and Families  The sixties scoop was a deliberate federal policy to take children far way from their identity and to basically turn them into white children. In the book on residential schools by John Milloy, he writes: Fostering was seen as a most effective method of breaking through the welfare bottleneck and ultimately, in tandem with integration, of closing [the residential] schools....

Wrecked, Abandoned or Hazardous Vessels Act  The number of derelict and abandoned vessels skyrocketed, with no action from the Harper government. In fact, John Duncan, who at the time was the MP for Vancouver Island North, noted that we should have something similar to what is in Washington State, which has very robust legislation that deals with the vehicle owner-operator piece to ensure that there is someone to pay for cleanups, yet even though he was in cabinet and sat in government for 10 years, we saw no action.

Indigenous Languages Act  I have to go back to the Harper government. It cut over $60 million for indigenous organizations. John Duncan, from Vancouver Island, was the then aboriginal affairs minister. When he was put in that position in 2012, he said the Conservatives would change the funding model for aboriginal organizations and tribal councils, focusing on the areas that matched the Harper government's priorities.

Impact Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity to speak tonight in support of Bill C-69. Before I begin, I would like to acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of the Algonquin and Anishinaabe peoples. This bill provides the framework for a modern assessment process that would protect the environment, attract investment, and ensure that good projects go ahead in a timely way to create new jobs and economic opportunities.

Environment committee  This one gives the clarification that I just spoke of. It indicates “one representative”. This is where you can get some of that doubling up. The persons referred to in paragraphs 4(1)(a), (b), and (c)—the officer of the Canadian Museum, of Library and Archives, and of the Parks Canada Agency—could be appointed under proposed paragraph 4(1)(e).

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  That's Sir John in 1869. That's the vision. Of course, yes, make the promise, whatever gets us through the day, whatever gets us what we want, and we will swamp them. Of course, that is the fundamental starting point of the relationship between Canada and the Métis Nation.

Business of Supply  I was in Marten Falls on the 100th anniversary of the signing of Treaty 9. We went up the river. Duncan Campbell Scott came in his canoe to sign it with the people of Ogoki Post. On that 100th anniversary, a man stepped forward and started to speak in Oji-Cree. He apologized that he did not speak English.

Donna Richardson  Donna Richardson was known to many of us on Parliament Hill not only as the wife of our former parliamentary colleague John Duncan, but for her dedicated work in the Senate and the House. Many of us watched as Donna showed up to work almost every day while she underwent surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Environment committee  I'm speaking now, John. Give me the courtesy of articulating what is in the hearts of many of us at this table, and that is about the sham of a process that we're going through. We have many more amendments—you can see them right here—that we still have to go through and that will not be discussed or debated.

Indigenous Peoples and Canada's Justice System  It is partnerships. For the first time ever, we worked with the former aboriginal affairs minister, John Duncan, for two to three years in our city, and the Whitecap Dakota First Nation. The graduation rates for indigenous students in this country are deplorable. What are we going to do? There are two things we can do.

British Home Child Day  After she left her service, Agnes went to work at a hospital in Peterborough and later married John Zavitz. The couple moved back to a farm near Tweed and had five daughters. Agnes died in 1927, shortly after giving birth to Margaret, her only surviving daughter, and so would not have heard people recognizing her.
