Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge the wonderful work that my colleague has done with first nations files and how well she has prepared and documented her information.
Earlier in her statement, she said it took almost 20 years to get that settlement. It seems it is always the same with the Liberals and the Conservatives. When there is something to settle with first nations, it takes a lot of time and hard work, but there is no action.
Could my colleague tell me why it would take so much time?
Why does it always take so much time? The government does not demonstrate much of a desire to resolve conflicts with first nations.
