Mr. Speaker, of course it is news to the minister regarding the threats on reserves that are going on. When they work only government to government why would they ever care about what happens to grassroots natives? They do not give a hoot.
The minister will not even return calls to the people who are calling him and asking him to call. They are calling my office and I am passing on the numbers. This is very serious. These people are being threatened for speaking out. Instead of bowing down to the chiefs, when will the minister protect the grassroots people and stand up for them?
