There's no single solution here. We need legislation. We need institutions. We need a structure. We need to build the capacity of first nation communities. We need to create an economic development opportunity for indigenous communities because, in my view, it's the poverty that is the root cause of many of the challenges we face.
We do need to be able to find ourselves in a position of seeing marked progress in this. We passed the Constitution in 1982 and we've been fighting in the Supreme Court of Canada for 40 years. This is the first opportunity I've seen of a report by an indigenous-controlled organization going directly to Parliament. It should be the Prime Minister. Part of the problem is that Indians have always had to go through one department or another. This is a government-wide issue that needs to be dealt with through government, through the minister, but the Prime Minister has to lead it. It was the Prime Minister who told us what the importance of this relationship was, and I respect that. It is important.
