Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Saint-Boniface—Saint-Vital for her commitment to indigenous issues. I know she spent the summer conducting consultations, including in Quebec.
I would like my colleague to tell us how this initiative is being received and how much interest it is generating amongst indigenous groups. There is a sense that some opposition parties may not want this bill to quickly move forward. What would be the consequences of delaying this bill?
