With all due respect, I would remind you that we are in a situation where the Indian Act is still in force and where first nations are still required to live on reserves if they want to enjoy the minimum rights guaranteed by the Indian Act. That is the reality. You are telling us that Canada's strategy is now to ensure that first nations are stripped of their rights to live off-reserve and that local initiatives will not be supported.
Tomorrow, there will be an economic statement, which will include an update accompanied by a bill and the ability to provide additional funding to first nations. You are therefore confirming that Yänonhchia' will not be among the projects being funded by the government tomorrow.
