It is to have the same rights. In the last Parliament, we introduced legislation to do that. For 90 days that party over there held up that legislation and would not let it through.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755192\" data-originallang=\"en\"> It is time for first nations to have human rights. It is time they were covered by the Canadian Human Rights Act. We expect that member and the rest of those people over there to support human rights for first nations. The time has come.</p>",

Cela consiste \u00e0 avoir les m\u00eames droits. Au cours de la derni\u00e8re l\u00e9gislature, nous avons pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 un projet de loi \u00e0 ce sujet. Pendant 90 jours, le parti d\u2019en face a retard\u00e9 l'\u00e9tude de ce projet de loi et en a emp\u00each\u00e9 l'adoption.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"755192\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il est temps que les Premi\u00e8res nations b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient des droits de la personne. Il est temps qu\u2019elles soient vis\u00e9es par la Loi canadienne sur les droits de la personne. Nous nous attendons \u00e0 ce que la d\u00e9put\u00e9e et les autres gens d\u2019en face appuient toute initiative visant \u00e0 accorder les droits de la personne aux Premi\u00e8res nations. Le temps est venu d'agir en ce sens.</p>"
