Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for the great work he is doing in supporting indigenous issues in our country.
Reaching settlements is one of the most important steps along the journey of healing and reconciliation and has been established as a priority for our government. In January, we concluded the negotiation with the Siksika nation, and we are very proud of that. We have been able to resolve a long-standing claim over Castle Mountain in Banff National Park, which had been going on for nearly 200 years.
We are a government of negotiation. We are a government that really believes this is a path forward to real reconciliation with indigenous people.
