Mr. Speaker, balance is in the eye of the beholder. Not long ago the Reform Party said the Criminal Code had to apply to the Nisga'a. They agreed.
The Reform Party said that the charter of rights has to apply to the Nisga'a. They agreed.
The Reform Party said that you cannot constitutionalize the commercial aspect of the fishery. They agreed.
The Reform Party said they must pay taxes. They agreed.
Why will the Reform Party not stand up today and say that these people are reasonable? They dealt with us and did many of the things we wanted. They get no credit for their goodwill and I condemn the Reform Party for that attitude.
