Mr. Speaker, I thank our colleague, the hon. member for Manicouagan, for his evocation of a world that is very rich but has unique problems.
That is why, a little earlier in our working day, I talked about Quebec City businessmen who want some recognition. Everyone aspires to a relatively normal life. But a normal life is not necessarily a life of conformity or submission to orders that do not solve problems, like the ones the government issues. It is especially sad to see aboriginal communities and band councils crushed under a burden that no other administrative body in Canada would accept.
I would like the hon. member to speak more about the lack of governance and lack of dignity that afflict first nations communities.
