Mr. Speaker, our government believes that first nations deserve the same protection that all other Canadians enjoy on a daily basis, which is why we introduced the bill to cover first nations under the Canadian Human Rights Act.
First nations should have received this protection years ago. The Liberals did nothing on this for 13 years. They have stalled, amended and done everything they can to stop it ever since.
The Liberal member for Winnipeg South Centre said:
If we've waited 30 years, what difference does a number of months more make... Six months, ten months, a year, I don't see what the difference is....
First nations deserve coverage under the Canadian Human Rights Act. They deserve it soon and we will get it for them.
