Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I do want to acknowledge what my colleague, Mr. Julian, said. There are three separate pieces of indigenous legislation in this 802-page bill. This bill did not go to the indigenous affairs committee. It was not allowed to be sent to that committee.
We would like to delete these lines. As you know, Romeo Saganash's bill is in the Senate, but there has not been any parliamentary motion in terms of moving forward with the language contained in the UN declaration. Therefore, until that goes through the proper legislative process, its inclusion in an omnibus budget bill is inappropriate.
I move the deletion of those particular lines.
