Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to be speaking this morning from the traditional territory of the WSÁNEC Nation, the indigenous peoples of this territory.
In brief, the petition from my constituents relates to a call to recognize and truly respect the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, specifically referencing the situation on Wet'suwet'en lands. It calls for nation-to-nation negotiations and asks for work on the fracked gas pipeline to cease immediately.
