Madam Chair, I had packed a whole bunch of different things into my last question, which was maybe unfair, so I will focus on one aspect of it. We had an exchange earlier with another member about, on the one hand, saying there are some things that need to happen politically around combatting violence and, on the other hand, recognizing that some of the biggest changes are not actually about politics at all but are about culture. They are about the way people see each other and the way they interact with each other, and that is not our primary mandate as members of Parliament. I wonder if the member wants to reflect on some of the cultural changes that need to take place.

Madam Chair, with respect to cultural changes, I want to talk about something that I did not have the time to address. In a conversation about culture and respect for cultures we cannot ignore what happened with the residential schools. I want to say it here because it was absolutely cruel. The purpose was to “kill the Indian in the child”. No one can talk about respecting culture and then go after children or go after these people's futures. For far too long Canada sought to kill these cultures. I repeat: Never should anyone try to “kill the Indian in the child”.
