I can only try to understand the difficulties of being indigenous and trying to overcome the challenges of the ministry itself. That said, we still have a challenge before us, and we have much work to do. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9088123\" data-originallang=\"en\">Reflecting on these reports, Minister, you acknowledge some level of progress, but according to the reports, ISC budgets have increased 84%, yet over half of these recommendations still go unanswered.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9088124\" data-originallang=\"en\"> You just mentioned water, which is one of the reports we're talking about today. You're introducing clean water legislation in the spring. You've made that commitment. The government has also made a commitment to the United Nations declaration and to free, prior and informed consent. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9088125\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can you answer this question? If one first nation doesn't agree to your water legislation, is that honouring free, prior and informed consent?</p>",

Cela dit, nous avons encore un d\u00e9fi \u00e0 relever et beaucoup de travail \u00e0 accomplir. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9088123\" data-originallang=\"en\">En r\u00e9fl\u00e9chissant \u00e0 ces rapports, madame la ministre, vous reconnaissez que des progr\u00e8s ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9s. Toutefois, selon ces rapports, les budgets de SAC ont augment\u00e9 de 84 %, et pourtant plus de la moiti\u00e9 de ces recommandations restent sans r\u00e9ponse.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9088124\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous venez de mentionner la question de l'eau, qui est le sujet de l'un des rapports dont nous discutons aujourd'hui. Vous pr\u00e9senterez au printemps un projet de loi sur l'eau potable. Vous vous \u00eates engag\u00e9e \u00e0 le faire. Cependant, le gouvernement s'est \u00e9galement engag\u00e9 \u00e0 respecter la d\u00e9claration des Nations unies et le principe du consentement pr\u00e9alable, donn\u00e9 librement et en connaissance de cause.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9088125\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pouvez-vous r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la question suivante? Si une Premi\u00e8re Nation n'approuve pas votre mesure l\u00e9gislative sur l'eau potable, ce processus respectera\u2011t\u2011il le principe du consentement pr\u00e9alable, donn\u00e9 librement et en connaissance de cause?</p>"
