I'd like to amend this article just for consistency:
(3.3) For greater certainty, in this section, a reference to a child who is in the care of an employee for the purpose of adoption includes an Indigenous child placed, in accordance with the customs or traditions of the Indigenous group, community or people to which the child belongs, with an employee, other than the child’s parent, for the purpose of giving the employee primary responsibility for providing the child’s day-to-day care.
To speak to it, as I said before, I'd like to find any indigenous person who would have to be consulted on why they could raise their kids in accordance with the customs and traditions of their indigenous group, on why they would need consultation on it. If the Liberal bill comes forward and if they also have not included custom and kinship care, I look forward to fighting this with the same level of intensity. Again I want to give this opportunity to not abstain and to stand up for reconciliation and indigenous kids and families in this country and to actually take a stand.
I'd like to thank all of my colleagues, the Conservatives, the Bloc, and the NDP. Human rights are a non-partisan issue. I welcome the Liberal Party to do the same.
Thank you.
