“Amnesty International found that the Liberal government is weakening Indigenous rights. The Prime Minister must protect the Constitution. Why is his government fighting against Indigenous rights in court?”
“Mr. Speaker, I disagree with the member opposite. Amnesty International confirmed the backsliding of indigenous rights by the Liberal government. I want to know if he agrees with me that the Prime Minister should do his duty and uphold the Constitution. Why is his government choosing to put forward litigation against constitutionally enshrined rights in section 35? That is not respecting the Constitution or the rule of law.”
