Mr. Speaker, our government is proudly moving forward with human rights protection for first nations citizens through Bill C-44, An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act. However, while the government is looking to rectify this long-standing inequity, the opposition parties continue to dither and delay.
How much longer do first nations citizens need to live without the protections that are taken for granted by all other Canadians?
Could the Minister of Indian Affairs please highlight the importance of the bill now before the committee?
