“Madam Speaker, maybe it is because it is getting late, but I feel as though the government members are trying to hypnotize us into believing that everything is fine, but that is not true. What does my colleague have to say to the Assembly of First Nations, which is concerned that the approval of major projects could have an impact on indigenous communities? What does she have to say about the fact that 100 indigenous communities could be affected by Bill C-39? What does she have to say about the fact that 14 indigenous communities are currently challenging this bill in court? It is not just the Bloc Québécois that is saying this. Indigenous communities themselves are speaking out against this bill and saying that if Bill C-39 becomes law, it could seriously infringe on indigenous rights.”

Madam Speaker, Claims · 106 wordsI have been talking about this legislation with indigenous leaders from across the country.Based on the feedback I am hearing about Bill C‑39, it offers the possibility of a consultation process coordinated by a single department.The process would be more organized, sparing communities from having to deal with different departments at different times of year.The duty to consult remains unchanged.Currently, two agencies conduct assessments: the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the Canada Energy Regulator.1The bill provides that only one agency will be responsible for assessment.2That said, the factors to be considered and the duty to consult remain the same.3
