House Hansard - 83

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
June 7, 2022 10:00AM
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow members of all parties will have a chance to send Bill C-248, regarding Ojibway national urban park, to committee. It has the support of Windsor and, most importantly, members of the Caldwell First Nation. It is their territory, and their voices need to be heard. Caldwell has waited for years for this park to become a reality, and Chief Duckworth has written a letter to every MP requesting that this bill move forward. The government is putting up needless obstacles. Will the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations stand up for Caldwell First Nation, or will he side with petty politics and shut it out?

Mr. Speaker, I believe there were consultations, but that is another story. I have a document from Caldwell First Nation, in both official languages, that I would like to table for the benefit of all members, seeing as the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations did not rise to answer my question.

Mr. Speaker, I will make this simple. If that is the conduct of the minister in a situation like this, I do not want an apology. Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
