“Mr. Speaker, Conservatives on this side of the House agree with the diagnosis that governments of all stripes have failed indigenous peoples for way too many years. Even in the member’s speech, he listed a number of areas that the government is working on. For all of those areas the member outlined in his speech, the Auditor General has released report after report on the continuous failures within various government departments when it comes to indigenous peoples. Given this legislation, which was commented on at committee as having no teeth to actually enforce ongoing failures, what mechanisms does the government have in place to ensure accountability?”

Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 6 wordsit is a very good question.ProcedureClaims · 90 wordsWe create these structures to drive accountability.The existence of officers of Parliament is a very important structure to create accountability.The existence of the Department of Indigenous Services has helped in responding to some of the issues that were identified, especially those around clean drinking water, something that I recall working on when I was working in the Premier of Ontario Kathleen Wynne’s office, knowing that the response was not fast enough and that we needed some pressure, yes, from the inside but also from the outside to respond.1Reasoning · 31 wordsIt is that combination of institutions, along with the commitments we make in Parliament when we decide to endorse a piece of legislation like this, that is part of the solution.
