Thank you. I agree. In fact, we've demanded it. Last Thursday, on what is considered the National Day of Action, I, on behalf of Kahnawake, and with the support of six other first nations communities surrounding us, including the ones targeted within the report, demanded a meeting, not only with the Minister of Public Safety, Mr. Day, who I'll be meeting with on the 17th here in Ottawa, but with the Minister of Finance, the Prime Minister, who I don't believe will attend--but it at least got his attention--and anyone else involved who needs to come to the table.
Kahnawake has consistently and for a long period of time asked for this, regardless of who has been in a position of responsibility and authority in the Canadian Parliament. Now, within a four-week period--as I said, it's three weeks tomorrow--we're demanding this type of meeting. So I hope it does happen. It is happening again through Public Safety. But the other ministries need to become involved through cabinet. That is the only way this is going to be resolved.
Back to Ms. Priddy's argument and question, that's the first piece of it. First is recognition of the first nations position, who we are and understanding where we're coming from, and not as Canadian citizens. Second is the political will and understanding that has to come from the other side of the table, if you will, and a commitment to long-term implementation. It's not going to take a year, it's not going to take a month; we're here for a long period of time. We've accepted and acknowledged everybody who's come to our territories, and it's time for that reciprocation to happen today.
