Mr. Speaker, it seems to me symptomatic of the very tired and lifeless condition of the hon. member's crusade against this legislation that he is trying to revive an issue that was fully debated last year and put to rest with the facts. The facts are that there was consultation. There has been consultation throughout this process, both with provincial governments and with aboriginal organizations. If the results are not pleasing to the hon. member that is too bad, but it does not mean that meaningful consultation did not occur.
In the House of Commons on September 25th, 1995. See this statement in context.
