Mr. Speaker, obviously, the Bloc Québécois supports Bill S-2. It restores an important right, the right to transmit status.
What does the minister think of the Indian Act in general?
First of all, the name of the act no longer works. There are sections in it that need to be reviewed. Should we not be doing even more to recognize first nations' rights and achieve a true nation-to-nation partnership?
I hope that a sovereign Quebec can do that soon, but I would also like to see Canada begin this work.
