Mr. Speaker, I have to say that it is not lost on the indigenous people in my riding or indigenous people across this country that there is a huge contrast in the way that the peaceful protesters in Wet'suwet'en were treated and how the RCMP stood back in this case and watched an angry mob burning vehicles, attacking and throwing stones. It is not lost on indigenous people across this country that, over 21 years, there has been inaction by Conservative and Liberal governments in dealing with the decision by the Supreme Court to ensure these rights are properly enshrined in the rules around fisheries and DFO.
I am sure it is not lost on indigenous people and people watching right now that there was a unanimous consent motion put forward by the member for Courtenay—Alberni, which was perfectly acceptable, that we should be affirming these treaty rights and taking action as a Parliament to make sure that we do right by indigenous people in this country and that we affirm these rights and take action—
