Madam Speaker, I was simply going to make a point. Here is a quote from the member for Athabasca: “Just because we did not kill the Indians and have Indian wars does not mean we did not conquer these people. Is that not why they allowed themselves to be herded into little reserves in the most isolated, desolate, worthless parts of the country?” That is a revealing sentiment, is it not?
What about the former member for Capilano—Howe Sound, Herb Grubel. I think he is now on the board of directors at the Fraser Institute. What did he say about aboriginal people? He likened Indians living on reserves to people living on South Seas islands courtesy of a rich uncle. That gives some indication of what the Reform Party really thinks of aboriginal people.
