That's absolutely true, as we well know in Manitoba.
The centre of excellence, which has also been much maligned by the opposition, gives an opportunity for the leadership of the 22 first nations communities that have already initiated this kind of law. There are more than 600 first nations communities in our great country, but 22 have initiated that leadership. The centre of excellence, in which we're going to invest millions of dollars, is going to enable those first nations to demonstrate their leadership to those who would follow.
Will this help communities find a way to have the rights they need?
