Mr. Speaker, the Nishga are probably the most patient first nation in Canada.
In 1903 they started their claim, could not get funding and did it with their own money. They won their case in 1973. They have been waiting 22 years for a settlement. Everything on the table is being negotiated. Nothing is being taken off the table because it might cause the hon. member some discomfort.
I think his time would be better spent if he got behind the Nishga who are in the constituency of one of the Reform critics and help them get through this very difficult time.
