Mr. Speaker, this is a petition that was brought forward by Canadian citizens who have a deep concern, and I can read it:
On September 1, 2017, Senator Beyak posted a letter on her website repeating her defense of the Indian Residential School System, and urged First Nation people to “Trade your status card for a Canadian citizenship”. First nation and indigenous people are Canadians. [...]
Senator Beyak's comments are extremely offensive, to not only Residential School Survivors but to all First Nations people....
We, the undersigned, Citizens of Canada, call upon the Government...to take steps to remove Lynn Beyak from her position as Senator.
That was brought forward by the people of Canada.
