Mr. Speaker, first off, I want to thank my friend from Louis-Saint-Laurent for his kind words.
My reaction was swift, because I have been watching the government for almost four years now.
There is a marked difference between what the Liberals do and what they say.
No need to take my word for it. I am reminded of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal's third compliance order regarding discrimination against indigenous children. I read paragraph 64, and I remember all too well what it said.
According to the tribunal, the government and the ministers say one thing, but the departments continue to do the exact opposite.
That is what has been happening for years. Yes, there has been some movement here and there, but generally speaking, things are still virtually unchanged. That is my opinion.
I myself visit the communities. I live in the communities. The government claims that no relationship is more important to it than the relationship with indigenous peoples. That seems to be its favourite phrase. Seeing this morning's news, it seemed to me that, in fact, no relationship is more important to it than the relationship with big corporations like SNC-Lavalin.
