“I want members to support this bill. It creates a commissioner to report on how well we follow modern treaties with Indigenous people. This will improve our relationship with them, and many Indigenous leaders have asked for it.”
“Madam Speaker, Bill C-10 recognizes the value that modern treaties play in Canadian society. It would enable a better, stronger relationship between the federal government and indigenous people. Having a commissioner that reports back to the House on where the government needs to improve would be a positive thing. I am not alone, as many indigenous leaders have actually been advocating for that. I could be wrong on this, but I understand that even with modern treaties that were brought into place, the topic of having a commissioner was discussed.”
