In the last Parliament, the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs passed an amended version of Bill C‑61. A number of people were around the table, and we worked very hard, particularly with various indigenous groups, to get that bill passed in committee. A number of witnesses also came to propose improvements to the bill.
Seven months into your mandate, we're still waiting for a new version of this bill to be tabled. In my opinion, it's very simple: You go to the committee's website, you print the document, you table the bill in the House, and things should go smoothly, since this committee unanimously passed Bill C‑61.
What are you waiting for to pass a bill on drinking water for first nations?
