The issue is that the aboriginal community and indeed several other Canadians involved with the issue of land claims have been urging us for months and months and months to pass Bill C-49, which we did. The Senate considered it and made an amendment which most of us concur in. Many of us have had members of Canada's first nations communities urge us to pass this legislation.</p>\n<p>The conclusion to all of that is that we need this bill urgently. I do believe that most of us think in our hearts that we have already said that is precisely what we would do and that is precisely what I am urging the House to do now.</p>",
