Madam Speaker, I think the member is talking about the notion of free, prior and informed consent, something the Conservatives have fought violently against. That is the right to say yes, no or yes with conditions. This means that it is absolutely a nation's right to say yes, but it is also a nation's right to say no and, in the case of Coastal GasLink, yes with conditions.
We need to respect the free, prior and informed consent of indigenous peoples. This has been affirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada. We cannot just support human rights and basic rights when they support our economic interests and vision and then just brush them aside when they do not. Unfortunately, in this country there has been a history of that kind of violent, colonial, human rights-violating behaviour.
We are now at a point of crisis and people across the country are saying no more because consecutive Liberal and Conservative governments have failed to deal with long-standing land issues with indigenous people. The Mohawks of Kanesatake have been waiting at the table for 300 years. Where is the Liberal government? Where were the four previous Conservative governments?
