Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his enthusiastic and passionate speech.
One sentence really struck me. He said that his government believes in the self-determination of indigenous peoples. When I hear the term “self-determination” come out of the mouth of any member of the Liberal Party, I always have my doubts. Nevertheless, I would like my colleague to explain exactly what action the Liberal Party has taken to follow through on this belief in the self-determination of indigenous peoples. In his opinion, what must we do if we are serious about recognizing the political autonomy of indigenous peoples?
