Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question and I agree that in business we always have timelines.
Bill C-6 is big business in that it affects first nations across the country. There should be timelines within the bill.
One thing I have learned is that what always seems to work best is consensus, no matter what we are doing. I think there should be consensus between the government and first nations. They should sit around a table and come up with a document that they can both agree on.
As I look at Bill C-6 and the various statements that I read to members today, it just looks to me like there has not been any consensus here. I think there is a willingness on behalf of the first nations to sit down with the government, but it seems as if the bill is being pushed forward. I just cannot accept things that are pushed on people.
