Mr. Speaker, everyone in Canada knows that the Nisga'a treaty establishes two tier citizenship and it entrenches inequality under the law.
The government does not even think that Canadians should have a say on it. At the Nisga'a hearings in British Columbia the Liberal MP for Haliburton—Victoria—Brock referred to the public consultations going on as the little song and dance.
Only the Nisga'a people have been able to have a say on it. Why does the government not just admit that it will not call a referendum on this deal because it knows it will lose?
