Madam Speaker, I am totally in agreement with my colleague from the Progressive Conservative Party.
As I said at the start of my speech, I was in the aboriginal communities this summer and the summer before that. I noted a very fine social peace between aboriginals and non-aboriginals. My fear now is that the government's carelessness and permissiveness in making decisions, and its lack of courage, will tear the community apart, as it has already begun to do.
The minister has stopped momentarily. I believe from the communique I have just received that it is absolutely urgent to negotiate. That is why I am suggesting that the minister take the plane tonight. If he is short domestic travel points, I would give him one, two even, if he wants to take his Indian affairs colleague to the east coast.
