Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very good question.
Personally, that is what worries me the most. I think that Canada, as a country, has a fundamental and significant relationship with the first nations, but that the government keeps putting off discussions about this issue. We need to ensure that our relationship with the people who have given us so much is as healthy as possible. This brings to mind words from a song by Chloé Sainte-Marie in which she recites names taken from aboriginal languages, names that Canadians from east to west use every day.
We have a duty to improve the relationship, and I do not believe that this kind of "government to the rescue" bill will accomplish that.
