Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for outlining some of the many problems with this budget, in particular, highlighting what is happening in first nations communities across Canada.
I am from Nova Scotia and Nova Scotia is the proud home of the Mi'kmaw people, one of many first nations across Canada.
In response to the budget, Jaime Battiste, a consultant to the Eskasoni First Nation, said:
In terms of hope, First Nations have had hope in the past and then had things promised taken off the table, so I can't say I trust anything the federal government says.
How does the member think that putting the government on probation and demanding another report will change anything for first nations communities across Canada?
