Mr. Speaker, the tax system in place on reserves is different. There is no sales tax. We know that. It creates a challenge because certain products that should be sold only to residents on the reserve are in fact sold more widely, which deprives the state of certain revenues.
My colleague raises a very good point. The motion before us today deals only with Quebec and the recognition of Quebec. That is what this motion is all about. I remember a very moving ceremony that took place in this House just a few months ago and during which everyone was saying that the time had come to right the wrongs of the past. There was an apology for the residential school system, and so on. There are issues, like this one, that need to be dealt with by this House with regard to first nations.
My colleague's riding in northern and central British Columbia is home to very large first nations communities. If he did us the honour of bringing forward a motion in that regard, he could count on my support.
