Mr. Speaker, I have to comment when the member remarks about the Conservative Party giving first nations individuals the freedom and the ability to own their own home, the same right that every other Canadian has, and we are called paternalistic for that. What is paternalistic is a party that does not believe that first nations are able to enjoy their own property, that does not trust them to own and enjoy their own property, the same right that every other Canadian has.
We should not be surprised because this is coming from probably the only member that I know who has a picture of Mao Zedong hanging in his office. This is the member who is talking about private property who has a picture of our great leader Mao in his office. We all know about the Chinese Communist attitude toward private property rights.
This is not a question. It is more a comment that if we are going to look at paternalism, it should rest with the party that does not trust first nations to own and enjoy property the same way that every other Canadian does.
