Mr. Speaker, as my colleague indicated, last week the Liberals voted for a piece of legislation, Bill C-262, to implement the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In that bill, they made very specific commitments, especially around article 19, under which laws of general application would receive free, prior, and informed consent from first nations.
Does my colleague believe that the Liberals, in turning down those amendments, were living up to the spirit of the vote that took place last week?
I also want to note that there is another member from British Columbia in the chamber tonight.
