Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for her contribution to this debate and for her excellent work on first nation issues.
Certainly the Algonquins of my riding have not been consulted on this issue and are very concerned about the burden that this would create. I think of Kitigan Zibi, which is an example of transparency. I think what this really is about is the blame game: blame first nations. As well, it is blind. It is a blind because there is a lack of funding and capacity-building for these matters within first nations.
I would like to ask my hon. colleague this: what could we have done or what could we do in order to create this kind of capacity?
