Thank you.
Certainly this study of water is super important. It's something that the communities I represent struggle with, and the indignities and injustices have to be addressed.
I want to take just a few moments for my colleague, Mr. Carr, on this motion recognizing the loss of Grand Chief Merrick, who was a real trailblazer and someone whose sudden death, I think, shocked everybody. I think these moments, when we come together across party lines to recognize the people, particularly the women, who are leading the way for indigenous justice in this country, are really important.
On behalf of the New Democratic Party, I would like to fully support my colleague's motion.
