“I disagree with the member. Our past legislation clearly protects Indigenous and treaty rights, which shows our commitment. Once we create this new commissioner's office, we must all listen closely to its work.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have great respect for my colleague across the way, but regarding Bill C-5, we will have to agree to disagree. There is text right there in Bill C-5, which is now the law of the land, that is explicit about the recognition of indigenous rights and treaty rights in a variety of ways. It is a sign of our commitment on this side of the House that we put that into one of the very first pieces of legislation. On heeding the work of the commissioner, that is something we would all have to attempt to do in the most committed way possible upon the establishment of this office.”
