Mr. Chair, I always appreciate the independent perspective the hon. member brings when he talks about issues. I think it is a strength for members of Parliament to think through issues themselves and come to their own conclusions.
I would be curious to hear him talk a bit more about the issue of reconciliation. He talked about some of the frustrations people feel in both indigenous and non-indigenous communities. What does he think we can do? What does he think could happen at the local level to encourage greater understanding, greater co-operation, and a greater sense of common purpose as we go forward?
