Cheryl Gallant Conservative
“The member insulted local First Nations people by questioning their identity. The company consulted them first about this project. The member opposes it only because of money, but the project will protect people and the environment.”
“Mr. Speaker, I think I just heard the member call the Pikwàkanagàn and the Anishinabe “pretendians”. I have never heard that before. The very first people CNL approached when this project first came to light were our first nations people. The member said it outright. This is all about money. It is not about doing the right thing and doing it safely so that the people and the environment are protected. That is what this project would do. It would make the environment and people even safer.”
