Madam Speaker, the member mentioned perspective and his understanding of the issue. As we have heard on the floor of the House, there is a debate over numbers, the 80% and 85%, so I will mention the words of the Wet'suwet'en people themselves.
Chief Dan George of the Wet'suwet'en Burns Lake band said, “As an elected official my job is to represent the people and do what they want me to do, and so they wanted me to sign on...80% of our people voted for LNG.” Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chief Theresa Tait-Day said, “In the case of Coastal GasLink, 85% of our people said yes we want this project.” Those are the words from the mouths of the Wet'suwet'en themselves.
When will the government and the Prime Minister show leadership on this issue?
