I agree with you; that's certainly the reality.

However, would you not agree with me that the JBNQA specifically, since it was enacted 45 years ago, has modelled positive relationships based on the minimum rights afforded by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples? All indigenous peoples and nations throughout the country should be afforded the same level of respect, which is something that is not happening. Would you agree with me?
