Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his incredibly hard work on this legislation.
In the “Purposes of Act” part of the bill, clause 5 states, “The purposes of this Act are to”, and under paragraph (g) on page 5, it states, “contribute to the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as it relates to Indigenous languages.”
I wonder if the member could comment on the significance of that with respect to the bill.
