Mr. Speaker, as a new parliamentarian, of course, I have been part of this process for only the last year, but as I indicated, past attempts were made to repeal section 67. There was also a private member's bill.
There is going to be an opportunity before committee for further additions or changes to this repeal. However, I think it is still fundamental. It is something that we as Canadians have all taken for granted. It is something that first nations citizens have not had the opportunity to experience on reserve. This is very timely and needed.
