Mr. Speaker, in 1985, the government of Mr. Lévesque was the first to sign an agreement with the native peoples. It was this government that went the farthest and that accorded the most to the native peoples in 1985.
In 1990, the October crisis unfortunately cast a shadow over relations between native peoples and the people of Quebec, perceptions changed.
This crisis arose, once again, because of the indecision of the government of the day, a Liberal and a federalist government, led once again by Mr. Bourassa. Both times the army moved into Quebec, Liberal federalists were in power.
