Mr. Speaker, for hundreds of years, first nations have suffered under a broken system that takes power away from their communities and gives it to Ottawa. The Indian Act hands over all reserve land and money to the federal government, meaning first nations have to go to Ottawa to ask for their tax revenues collected from projects on their land. After eight years, the Prime Minister has allowed this system to continue. Our Conservative leader just announced his support for the optional first nations resource charge that would enable first nations to take back control of their resources and money. Will the Liberal government put first nations in control and support the FNRC, or will it let the Ottawa-knows-best model continue?
