Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.
While the Minister of Foreign Affairs is desperately looking to the international community to justify proclaiming Canada a great place to live, the aboriginal peoples of Quebec and Canada are travelling across Europe denouncing some of the many red book promises that have been broken. After three and a half years of Liberal government, the aboriginal peoples still have record high rates of suicide, imprisonment, unemployment and infant mortality.
When will the government of the so-called best country in the world to live in finally acknowledge the report of the Erasmus-Dussault Royal Commission and seriously tackle the problems facing aboriginal peoples?
