Mr. Speaker, the problem of treaties has been dealt with in every province in Canada for a long time.
It is not the first time that parliament has been confronted with the problem of implementing treaties in Canada. It was done years ago by Conservative and Liberal prime ministers, at the beginning of the century and later on as well.
We will keep the tradition that we have, which is to respect the obligations of the crown vis-a-vis the first citizens of this land.
