It is a question that I would rightly like to put before the government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3530381\" data-originallang=\"en\">First nations have culture, traditions, history and electoral processes that have been in place in many nations from time immemorial. They have long traditions of self-governing, yet we continue to see an Indian Act system that undermines and devalues those systems of governance.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3530382\" data-originallang=\"en\">It would seem that any move toward changes in elections should be governed by first nations. It should be proposed by first nations. It should be developed by first nations. This act simply does not do that.</p>",

Il y a longtemps qu'elles se gouvernent elles-m\u00eames et pourtant, on voit perdurer le r\u00e9gime de la Loi sur les Indiens, qui sape et d\u00e9valorise ces syst\u00e8mes de gouvernance. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3530382\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tout changement au processus des \u00e9lections devrait \u00eatre men\u00e9 par les Premi\u00e8res Nations. Ce sont elles qui devraient le proposer et le d\u00e9velopper. Cette loi ne permet tout simplement pas une telle chose.</p>"
