Mr. Speaker, yesterday the government betrayed the Dene in northern Manitoba and northern Saskatchewan. For years, they have been negotiating to pursue their right to land and resources north of 60.
They were so close to reaching an agreement. A few weeks ago, they were told one thing about consultations and initialling and then at the last minute, the minister reversed her position.
This is an egregious act of bad faith. It sets the Dene communities back years. It is the opposite of reconciliation.
What will the minister do to fix this major problem?
