Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister was given a name by the Tsuu T'ina people in Alberta, Gumistiyi, meaning “the one who tries”. I know some people in my province are watching this debate. They are telling me that the Prime Minister and government need to try harder.
How can they stand in this House during an emergency debate and say that reconciliation is the most important thing they have, say that they really want to solve this problem and then vote against a unanimous consent motion asking them to support the people of Nova Scotia?
