Madam Speaker, in the Fraser Canyon and Fraser Valley region, we are seeing a huge number of first nations entrepreneurs who want to build projects on their traditional lands. They want to bring economic prosperity to their people, and they are pushing ahead faster than the Government of Canada is able to move with more projects.
First nations want to see barriers eliminated for that work. They want to see federal departments get out of the way, with their overburdensome red tape, to allow them to not only build and to take economic risks, but also, ultimately, put forward and support projects that are going to bring economic prosperity to a region of the country that has been ignored by many consecutive governments.
