Mr. Speaker, I want to encourage Reform Party members. As we get into the debate, it will be very important for them to read the treaty. They should also ask us for a briefing, which will be very helpful.
As we talk about representation, I will give the Reform Party members an example of what representation means to the Nisga'a people. The member representing the Nisga'a and the people of the Nass Valley has 25 first nations. Out of those 25 first nations, 17 have not seen their member of parliament in six years.
