"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3087807\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I greatly appreciate the fact that he mentioned the stained glass window commemorating the legacy of Indian residential schools today, which is by an artist from Espanola, Christi Belcourt, who is from my riding. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3087808\" data-originallang=\"en\">When we look at the positive steps we thought the government was taking\u2014the apology, the signing of the UNDRIP, the comments at the Crown-first nations gathering and then today the stained glass\u2014first nations, M\u00e9tis and Inuit people are correct to continue to question the sincerity of the government. It is clear that the Conservatives are refusing to take rebuilding a constructive relationship with first nations seriously. The minister made ill-considered cuts to first nations organizations across the country and now residential school survivors have to wait while the government processes a backlog.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3087809\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us look at what is in the <em>Gazette</em> today about the 100 academics and the comment from National Chief Shawn Atleo, who talks about the 60% cut to core funding to Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council. He comments: </p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3087810\" data-originallang=\"en\"> There are only two conclusions to draw... Either [the Prime Minister] understands and doesn't care and so is allowing and supporting the behaviour to occur, or maybe he doesn't understand.... </p>\n</blockquote>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3087807\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie vivement le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'avoir mentionn\u00e9 le vitrail comm\u00e9morant les s\u00e9quelles des pensionnats indiens, encore perceptibles aujourd'hui. C'est une oeuvre de l'artiste Christi Belcourt, une r\u00e9sidante d'Espanola, dans ma circonscription.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3087808\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'analyse des suppos\u00e9es mesures positives du gouvernement \u2014 la pr\u00e9sentation d'excuses, la signature de la D\u00e9claration des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones, les propos tenus \u00e0 la rencontre entre la Couronne et les Premi\u00e8res Nations et, aujourd'hui, le d\u00e9voilement du vitrail \u2014 r\u00e9v\u00e8le que les membres des Premi\u00e8res Nations, les M\u00e9tis et les Inuits ont raison de continuer \u00e0 douter de la sinc\u00e9rit\u00e9 du gouvernement. De toute \u00e9vidence, les conservateurs refusent de prendre au s\u00e9rieux le r\u00e9tablissement de relations constructives avec les Autochtones. Comme le ministre a sabr\u00e9 de mani\u00e8re inconsid\u00e9r\u00e9e le budget des organismes des Premi\u00e8res Nations de tout le pays, les survivants des pensionnats indiens doivent prendre leur mal en patience pendant que le gouvernement cherche \u00e0 r\u00e9sorber les arri\u00e9r\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3087809\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voyons ce que rapporte aujourd'hui la <em>Gazette</em> au sujet des 100 universitaires et des propos tenus par le chef national Shawn Atleo sur la r\u00e9duction de 60 % du financement de base du Conseil tribal de Nuu-chah-nulth:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3087810\" data-originallang=\"en\"> De deux choses l'une: [...] soit [le premier ministre] comprend, mais s'en fiche et cautionne le comportement en cause, soit, peut-\u00eatre, il ne comprend pas [...] </p>\n</blockquote>"
