Mr. Speaker, the Nisga'a agreement, as it is currently written, gives the Nisga'a the ability to determine their own citizenship. I assume that would be something none of us would want to give to the Bloc or to the separatist faction in Quebec.
My question is exactly the same as my colleague's. There are many aspects of the Nisga'a agreement that would be very favourably accepted by the people of Quebec who desire to see Quebec as a separate state. Let us be specific. Why would we be extending to the Nisga'a the ability to determine their own citizenship when, if we received the same request from the separatists in Quebec, and I am sure we would, we would not give it to them? What is the difference between those two things?
