Mr. Speaker, on September 11, 1997, the hon. member for Skeena said “The Tsuu T'ina band have used their wealth to build themselves into one of the most self-sufficient and successful bands in this country”.
I have to ask the hon. member why all of a sudden he has changed his point of view. Why is it that only when there is a tragedy or an issue of division the hon. member raises issues in support of aboriginal people.
The answers to these questions and the challenges are with us. They are about building in partnership strong aboriginal nations with accountable transparent governments.
