Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from Beauport—Limoilou for her question.
In my speech I touched a little on what reconciliation would truly look like. We are talking about the Indian Act, but there are so many other things that we would also have to work on across the board, since this affects every aspect life in the first nations.
I spoke about listening, humility and openness. I do not think it is up to me to decide how the first nations envision the transition from the Indian Act to full autonomy. This is why when I spoke earlier I gave my time to the first nations.
However, I want to assure my colleague that I will always stand next to, behind and with the first nations to help them come into their own as nations.
