C-236 Madam Speaker, I rise to support Bill, or McCann's law. Parkland I want to thank my hon. colleague fromfor his relentless work in the mission for justice and closure and his support for those victims and their families who have not received a proper burial, which is something that all humans deserve. I acknowledge the spirit of Lyle and Marie McCann, their family and their never-ending [more]
I hope you guys can work it out, honestly. If the governments were standing by their treaty commitments, would there be a need for a commissioner?
Okay. For Professor Wright, I'm going to do myself a bit of a disservice, because I support modern treaties. I might come off as against them with this question, and it might be a bit more of a philosophical one. The federal government has 30 departments, give or take, whatever the number is there. There are over 300,000 employees. How would a commissioner make meaningful changes on one or two [more]
How come Canada hasn't taken up as many of the dispute resolution mechanisms in the treaty agreements themselves, as much as they have...? If they did, then we wouldn't need a commissioner, as you hinted at before.
Could the commissioner guarantee that you'll stay out of court? Do you anticipate that you'll be staying out of court, given the complexity of government, with 300,000-plus employees, multiple departments and this commissioner, who will have to oversee, sea to sea to sea, 20% or maybe more of Canada's land mass? Do you think you'll still be staying out of court with this position?
That's all. I like the brevity. Thank you. Thank you, Chair.
Thank you for your answer. You mentioned that you didn't agree with everything in this process, when this legislation was being drafted. However, you said that you did agree with some things, and they were implemented. What were the things you didn't agree with?
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Executive Councillor Aucoin, thank you for your directness and your honesty. Whom did you sue?
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to all of our guests here today. Professor Wright, you were saying that there's inconsistency when it comes to politics, so this body might help with that. That was what you mentioned. Is that right? I'm going to take it into a bit of a forward-thinking context. In Alberta, we're facing a separation movement. The treaty chiefs are fighting back, but we have no [more]
Over in B.C., there's some trouble in terms of Musqueam and Cowichan, and it's really unfortunate to see, in my opinion. I hope cooler heads prevail in that regard, because Canada and indigenous and first nations people are going to live here, and we have to find a way through it. There is overlapping territory, and there's even overlapping territory, as I understand, when it comes to modern [more]
Did you mention the NDP provincially? Is that what it was?
