Mr. Speaker, perhaps if the minister would talk to the grassroots Nisga'a people instead of the chief, she would get the real story. Those people are concerned about their rights. Those Nisga'a women are concerned about their matrimonial rights. The minister by this agreement is slamming the door on the possibility of their ever having equal rights that all other Canadian women have.
I ask the minister again, why is she prepared to enter into an agreement that is going to rob these Nisga'a women of their rights that all other Canadian women enjoy?
