Madam Speaker, as the hon. members of the House and all Canadians know, the Bloc Québécois has been an unfailing ally of the aboriginal cause and aboriginal claims in an effort to achieve a nation to nation relationship with our Native brothers and sisters. The work has been done, particularly in Quebec with the Peace of the Braves. My colleague from Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot has done good work on this subject. My colleague from Louis-Saint-Laurent is also a recognized advocate of the aboriginal cause.
I believe that all aboriginal people, like society as a whole, will acknowledge that a crime is a crime, a criminal is a criminal and a criminal organization is a criminal organization; that the national or ethnic origin of a criminal organization must not provide safe conduct around thee requirements of the law, law enforcement and the police.
