Absolutely. There's no question in my mind that they shouldn't just be at the table. They should be driving the table for solutions. You can't have reconciliation when you have a top-down approach for solutions. If we're going to achieve any form of reconciliation.... The problem is that policy frameworks are established and then imposed, as my friends have said to the committee. We don't need the imposition. We need the collaboration. We don't need the confrontation. We need the accommodation.
I think it's very important that we start from an honest basis. We are the third government of Canada. We have constitutionally protected rights. It's now time that you, as parliamentarians, exercise your responsibility in the transfer of those constitutional rights to us.
