Uqaqtittiji, I know that, supposedly, we are to be talking about how to better advocate for first nations, as the motion states, but I think we all know that is not the real intention of this motion.
I recall when the Conservatives were in government and the enormous number of cuts they made to indigenous services. The current Liberal government is also failing first nations with the impending cuts it is planning to make in the next budget.
I wonder if the member can share with us what kind of work the NDP is doing to show that it is the party fighting for first nations, MĂ©tis and Inuit.
