Mr. Speaker, section 67 was intended to be a temporary measure when it was introduced 30 years ago. Thirty years is far too long to live without human rights. I am proud that the Minister of Indian Affairs is moving swiftly to rectify the situation through Bill C-44, which would ensure that first nations citizens have equal access to human rights protections.
However, apparently the Liberals feel that 30 years without this protection has not been long enough.
I hope that when the time comes the members opposite support the rights of first nations people and vote in favour of Bill C-44.
