59 words · 6 sentences · 6 clauses

Replying to Lori Idlout (Liberal)

“Uqaqtittiji, the member’s speech was excellent. I really appreciate that he incorporated the relationship with indigenous peoples and what the act would do. I wonder if the member, as part of the government, can explain just how important that relationship is with indigenous peoples and why it is important in this legislation.”
