Mr. Speaker, to the very best of my knowledge every party in the House save the Reform Party of Canada is supportive of the Nisga'a treaty. Every party has indicated that they will be voting in favour of the treaty. Every party has expressed a desire to have the treaty passed with speed.
Frankly that is a good question by the member from Delta because with the problems that we see coming out of the supreme court in the Marshall case, based on this ancient treaty which as I said is very thin, we can just imagine the kinds of problems that could arise from the Nisga'a treaty. It really bears sober second thought. It really bears a good debate and it really bears careful consideration of the kinds of problems we might be opening ourselves to down the road, given the instance of the Marshall decision and how it has impacted on the east coast fishery.
