Madam Speaker, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was really clear. It said that what had happened in Canada had been cultural genocide. While we can say that the federal government is to blame, there is plenty of blame in Canada to go around for all levels of government in denying indigenous people their rights in Canada.
I am proud to stand with our government. It has said that that it will take the steps forward to implement UNDRIP and ensure that legislation is brought in before the end of the year. As my father was one of the co-writers of UNDRIP, I look forward to that being a building block in moving forward, instead of the colonial policies of the past.
