Madam Chair, in order to function nation to nation, at the very least we have to respect each other's human rights. Right now, this very day, the government continues to fight against the human rights of indigenous people on a daily basis. Our human rights are up for debate. It is about respect. If we do not build respect in truth while upholding our Constitution, which includes aboriginal rights and title and which includes international conventions that support and lift up human rights, it will be difficult to develop a respectful nation-to-nation relationship.
