Mr. Speaker, speaking of the rule of law, a new report reveals the government has abjectly failed to consult indigenous peoples on recovery strategies for threatened species.
Chief Byron Louis has shared, “The extinction of a species actually has the potential” to extinguish indigenous rights.
Frustrated with government inaction, the Mikisew Cree sought intervention by UNESCO, and has joined the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation court challenge to have their rights upheld.
When will the Prime Minister stop with the platitudes and actually deliver on his legal responsibilities to first nations?
