Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to the member and I thank her for her intervention, but I have an important question.
What she said, surprisingly, is not accurate. It is actually quite the opposite. The facts are that through great consultation with first nations and the territories, power will be transferred from the federal minister to the territories. I thought I heard her say that the federal government and the minister will get more power, when in fact it is the exact opposite: the federal minister is giving those powers to the territories.
After great consultation and with great support from first nations and the territories, why would the member misrepresent what this act would actually do?
