Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Indian Affairs.
The Kahnawake band council has passed a resolution to expel Peter Jacobs, a resident of the reserve, simply because he is not of Indian blood, discriminating against him on essentially ethnic grounds. Mr. Jacobs was adopted when he was three weeks old and has been living on the reserve for 40 years.
Does the minister support the decision made by the Kahnawake band council to expel Mr. Jacobs for ethnic reasons?
