Leah Gazan NDP
“The government talks about respecting treaties, but its actions do not match its words. It needs to stop breaking its promises to Indigenous people. Honouring treaties protects the environment, builds the country, and keeps projects out of court.”
“Mr. Speaker, as somebody who has rights holder adhesion to Treaty No. 4, I can say that the only thing the government is committed to is saying the right words. Its actions speak differently. It is time for the Liberals to stop using our brown bodies as indigenous people and stop slapping us in the face when they turn their backs on their treaty obligations time and time again. Upholding treaties means protecting our environment, building the country and keeping projects out of the courts.”
