Mr. Speaker, indeed, I agree with my colleague's assessment.
The notion that indigenous people are anti-development is wrong. Indigenous people want to see development. They want to see Canada grow. However, what we are in favour of is sustainable development, smart development, development that does not jeopardize our future and that of the next seven generations that we are obligated to protect.
It is an important step moving forward that we realize that when indigenous people succeed in Canada, Canada succeeds.
