Thank you for representing teachers. You are all doing it very well.
I asked the question anyway because in a way, you are experts in children’s education. Certain broad principles you would apply could also apply to anyone participating in children’s education, be they a parent, an uncle, an aunt, or an educator entrusted with supervising a five-year-old boy for a weekend, for example.
At the end of the day, shouldn’t all these people be treated the same way?
Shouldn’t we all make sure that anyone can intervene effectively when parents entrust them with supervising a child, one way or another? I share your opinion on the matter.
Since there must not be a lot of time left, I’d like to move on to a completely different subject.
We know that Bill C‑273 is the result of a call to action in the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. You talked about it earlier and you’re familiar with the report itself.
Do you have an opinion on the way that repealing section 43 of the Criminal Code could help improve the situation of indigenous communities in Canada?
We understand that abuses occurred in the past, and there’s no point in lingering on the subject. We all agree that it made no sense.
That said, how will repealing this section today help indigenous communities in Canada to flourish?
Can you give me some comments on that issue?
