Thank you, Chair.
Thank you again to our witnesses.
Like I said, we agree with the issues you have. What we're trying to do here on this side is improve this legislation so that if it passes—when it passes—it achieves everything you want it to achieve. Again, where we see there is a shortfall is in the enforcement part of it.
As I said before, we have tons of information on where governments of all stripes over hundreds of years have failed indigenous peoples. They haven't lived up to their word on the treaties yet. The Auditor General is an officer of Parliament or an agent of Parliament, and has tabled those reports. When we're in power, it's in the media headlines for a few weeks. When it's the Liberals, it's a couple of days or a couple of hours, maybe.
What will change? I know the commissioner is going to focus specifically on treaties. I get that. When they release the report on where the failures are, when or how will we see progress other than a report at the next cycle showing there is no progress?
