Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his passion and his advocacy for the indigenous community.
I will reiterate what I said in my closing remarks: A flame has been ignited but it is fragile and needs nurturing.
I would like to respond by asking, do we have a lot more work to do? Absolutely. Do we have a lot more consultation to do? Absolutely. Do we need to work with our partners, different indigenous communities and organizations, as well as provinces, to ensure that we give the supports that are needed? Yes. Do we need to make sure that we also build the capacity so we can hand over the various economic aspects to indigenous communities? Yes.
We have a lot of work to do, and we are committed to doing it. We ask for the member's support in doing that.
