Madam Speaker, one thing I feel is really missing from this conversation is the voices of indigenous people. We know that the Special Committee on the Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States did the interim report on Enbridge Line 5. There was not one indigenous witness who participated in that report.
To build meaningful relationships with indigenous peoples when it comes to energy, to apply the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, on both sides of the border, indigenous voices need to be included.
Does my colleague agree that this was a serious oversight, and that indigenous people need to be part of this really important conversation?
