Our asks to the federal government have been based more on respect and structured respect, whether it's how we get into these halls and have passes so we're not seen as visitors to the House of Commons but peers doing work, just like premiers when they come into these spaces, or whether it's Canada Day and the Government of Canada presents its ministers, Prime Minister and Governor General but also decides who speaks on behalf of indigenous peoples, not the indigenous peoples ourselves. How we are treated when we come to the House of Commons, the protocols and processes that are housed within the Speaker's office or within legislation that is housed within Canadian Heritage and also Privy Council's responsibility for the order of precedence, they need to be changed. That's how we get to true respect for Inuit rights holders in this country, by treating us as a part of the construction of Canada as a nation-state, rather than as groups that you have to placate because that's the political norm in this country.
We are an essential part of the construction of this country, one that not very many parliamentarians or those who enact and implement the rules around the functioning of this democracy care to respect.
