Jean-Yves Duclos Liberal
“Indigenous peoples have asked for this commissioner role for 20 years. I want Conservatives to support this bill so we can finally create it.”
“Madam Speaker, our colleague is quite right to mention listening. Listening is key to this bill. Over the last 20 years, many indigenous peoples have asked the Canadian government to create this commissioner role. We must listen to what indigenous peoples are asking us to do if we are to work with them in a spirit of respect. I urge my colleague to encourage his fellow Conservative Party members to move forward. People have been waiting for this office for 20 years. We must now take the next step.”
