Mr. Speaker, the member mentioned his community's involvement in the jurisprudence. My band was involved in the Haida court case in 2004; we intervened.
Eight months of negotiations on the MOU, and there was no involvement with first nations. The table the Liberals have set up is a tripartite table between Alberta, B.C. and the federal government. Again, first nations were excluded. When will the respect for aboriginal rights and title start with the Liberal government?
