Mr. Speaker, the one that needs to change its ways is the government over there.
In the same statement to the UN, the Canadian delegation boasted “--an active role in the negotiations of a UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples”. Instead of working to pass this historic accord, Canada actually voted against it, embarrassingly putting us offside with the world community.
Can the minister tell the House why the government delivered a further grossly misleading statement to the United Nations?
