Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 13 wordsthe majority of what I have to say was said before question period, ProcedureThanks · 52 wordsbut I would be remiss if I did not point out that there were a number of important indigenous organizations that did a lot of work on the treaty commission suggestion to the government and its work on Bill C-10. The Land Claims Agreement Coalition is one.¹ There were many, many more.Thanks Claims · 19 wordsWe understand that the treaty partners have waited years for governments to fulfill the obligations that Canada freely undertook. Reasoning · 35 wordsWe understand that a signed treaty cannot become a document that governments celebrate with ceremony and then neglect afterward. Canada must keep its word. The disagreement, again, is therefore not over whether accountability is necessary. The ask · 5 wordsWe want to see accountability. Reasoning · 12 wordsWe do not believe this piece of legislation lives up to that. Claims · 38 wordsWe do not believe that there will be a meaningful response from the government to any information that comes out of the treaty commissioner. We have seen no action on the Auditor General’s reports, for report after report. The ask · 5 wordsWe want to see action. Claims · 14 wordsWe support the minister’s word when she says they want intention rather than implementation. The ask · 20 wordsLet us see that. Let us give the bill some teeth. Let us have the government finish up its work.
