Billy Morin at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you, Chair.

Thank you to our guests for coming today.

I want to start with Ms. Lavell Harvard.

You mentioned you were at the UN and were standing behind former Liberal minister Carolyn Bennett, and she was endorsing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

I've been a first-time MP for the last year. The government's very good at making announcements but not necessarily good at follow-through or actual substance for real reconciliation. What does it say about the government when its members can make those announcements—you can stand behind them—but they've made no indication that they'll get rid of the second generation cut-off?
