Mr. Speaker, most of those so-called agreements are letters of understanding, MOUs. We can hardly call them agreements.
A letter of understanding does not mean consent for the project. We have had enough of these false characterizations at the expense of indigenous communities. The Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs, which represents over half of all first nations in the province, remains resolutely opposed to the project.
When will this government finally get serious about its most important relationship, the relationship with indigenous peoples?
