Marianne Dandurand Liberal
“I want to know what Indigenous groups think about this bill. Some opposition members seem to want to slow it down. What will happen if we delay it?”
“Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Saint-Boniface—Saint-Vital for her commitment to indigenous issues. I know she spent the summer conducting consultations, including in Quebec. I would like my colleague to tell us how this initiative is being received and how much interest it is generating amongst indigenous groups. There is a sense that some opposition parties may not want this bill to quickly move forward. What would be the consequences of delaying this bill?”
