Mr. Speaker, as a Métis citizen of Métis Nation British Columbia and Golden Ears Métis Society, I must admit that what the former Liberal minister has done has really undermined indigenous people throughout Canada. It is a shame because, as was mentioned by a previous speaker, 1,100 companies that identified as indigenous were delisted, so we see the amount of fraud for economic, social and political gains as being very harmful, and we are seeing that right across the board. I know that there was one lady, a former judge, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. She was highly respected and yet it came across that she was also just using indigenous identity to advance herself.
I wonder if the member would agree with me just how much this issue has hurt the indigenous people.
