Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure, an honour and a joy to respond in French to this extremely well-articulated question asked in French by my colleague from British Columbia, whom I hold in the highest regard. I really enjoy working with her.
We do not think that we need a commissioner. The public servants who currently work for the federal government on first nations affairs can do the work and ensure that modern treaties are properly monitored.
However, we need modern treaties. That is why we are asking the government to move forward, create real projects and deliver real results, rather than just giving us rhetoric.
