Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Bloc Québécois, I would like to congratulate Ghislain Picard for being elected for an eleventh term as the Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador.
Ghislain Picard is an Innu man from the community of Pessamit. He is a wonderful example of the dedication, perseverance and hope that drive efforts to increase the recognition of first nations' interests and promote their development and self-determination.
As the Bloc Québécois critic for indigenous affairs, I want to assure Utshimau Picard that I will be pleased and honoured to continue to build bridges with the first nations that he represents through respectful, attentive and ongoing nation-to-nation dialogue.
[Member spoke in Innu and provided the following text:]
Nanitam nika minu-uauitsheuat Innuat, kie anumat akua nika tuten tshetshi pimutaian tshitaimunnuaua
[Member provided the following translation:]
I will always be an ally to the first nations and will humbly relay your requests.
[Translation]
On behalf of the Bloc Québécois, I want to say thank you or tshinashkumitin to Utshimau Picard for the tremendous work he has already done, and I wish him great success in what he still needs to do, what we still need to do. Good luck.
