Buckley Belanger Liberal
“The Conservatives need to stop trying to divide our country. We should work to bring Canadians together instead. Many First Nations leaders are already working to strengthen Canada, and we should follow their lead.”
“Mr. Speaker, that is exactly the point. Why do the Conservatives bring up the issue in their effort to divide Canadians? I think it is more crucial at this time that we unite our country in as many ways as we possibly can. Somewhere along the line, somebody has to start talking about Canada’s interests, and I notice, as an example, with the Alberta northern chiefs, that first nations leaders have come forward and are defending Canada as a country. That is another example I would share with the assembly, because they are doing their part to strengthen Canada through treaties. There are a lot of great champions. The opposition should stop trying to divide Canada.”
