Grant Jackson Conservative
“The member for Winnipeg West says there was not enough consultation on this bill. I want the member for Edmonton Northwest to share his view on this, given his experience as a former First Nation chief.”
“Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to be back and a pleasure to see you in the chair. I wonder if my colleague from Edmonton would mind giving his perspective. The member for Winnipeg West just spoke about the lack of consultation with treaty partners. I thought the question was a little bizarre coming from the member for Winnipeg West, given the member from Edmonton’s history as a proud chief of his first nation and his relationship with the federal government and the Crown over the course of his service in that role. I wonder if the member for Edmonton Northwest could give a little bit more clarity for the member from Winnipeg on this topic.”
