Madam Speaker, I have heard a bit of this debate. First, the thing that struck me just now is the hon. member mentioned something about approving the Nisga'a agreement. I was not of the opinion that the hon. member's party approved that agreement.
Second, if this agreement clearly improves the lives of the people, why not allow them the chance? I heard the long speech about we are rich, we are lucky and we have done so well. Why do we not allow them the same chance we have had and from which we have benefited?
It may not be perfect. Nothing will ever be perfect. Let us move ahead, but let us especially let the people move ahead themselves. Please support this agreement. It is very important to them.
