“Indigenous leaders and groups say this bill harms Indigenous rights, the environment, and women. Only the government supports it. Will the Prime Minister ignore Indigenous peoples too?”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, the chief of the Assembly of First Nations, Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak, has criticized Bill C-39, saying that it violates the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We are hearing the same thing from the Native Women’s Association of Canada, which has also expressed concerns about the environmental impacts of the bill and the potential repercussions for women. Except for the government members, no one really agrees with Bill C-39. Will the Prime Minister also tell indigenous peoples to keep quiet?
