Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has sidelined Bill S-2 as amended, despite a court-ordered deadline to end sex- and race-based discrimination and the second-generation cut-off in the Indian Act. The UN has called on Canada to fix this by adopting Bill S-2 as amended. The majority of first nations agree and do not want more consultation. Officials and ministers say it is up to the Prime Minister.
Will the Prime Minister stop the delay tactics, meet with first nations women leaders, as requested, and pass Bill S-2 as amended, now, to end the discrimination and violations of the charter and international law?
