        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3279659\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170184\" href=\"/politicians/charlie-angus/\" title=\"Charlie Angus\">Timmins\u2014James Bay</a> for that question and for the excellent work he has done over the years on any number of indigenous issues, including housing and education.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3279660\" data-originallang=\"en\">The relationship between the Crown and indigenous peoples in Canada is fundamentally broken because the Crown does not respect the rights and titles of first nations, Inuit, and Metis in this country. We have case after case, and the most recent is the Daniels decision which reaffirmed, under section 91(24) of the Constitution, that the government, the Crown, must be at the table and respect the rights of, in that case, Metis and non-status Indians. Status Inuit are already recognized in the Constitution. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3279661\" data-originallang=\"en\">If we want to see progress in this country, a reduction in poverty, economic development, and certainty, we need to re-infuse that relationship between the Crown and indigenous peoples in this country with the honour of the Crown, with that notion of the duty to consult and accommodate, and with the notion that the government has a fiduciary responsibility. This is an opportunity for us to change the channel.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3279659\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170184\" href=\"/politicians/charlie-angus/\" title=\"Charlie Angus\">Timmins\u2014Baie James</a> de sa question et de l'excellent travail qu'il a accompli au fil des ans sur diff\u00e9rents dossiers concernant les Autochtones, notamment en mati\u00e8re de logement et d'\u00e9ducation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3279660\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les liens entre la Couronne et les peuples autochtones du Canada ont essentiellement \u00e9t\u00e9 rompus, car la Couronne ne respecte pas les droits et titres ancestraux des Premi\u00e8res Nations, des Inuits et des M\u00e9tis de ce pays. Cas apr\u00e8s cas, le plus r\u00e9cent \u00e9tant la d\u00e9cision concernant l'affaire <em>Daniels</em>, on constate que, selon le paragraphe 91(24) de la Constitution, le gouvernement, la Couronne, doit \u00eatre pr\u00e9sent \u00e0 la table et respecter, du moins pour ce qui est de l'affaire <em>Daniels</em>, les droits des M\u00e9tis et des Indiens non inscrits. La Constitution reconna\u00eet d\u00e9j\u00e0 les Inuits inscrits. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3279661\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour que l'on constate des progr\u00e8s dans ce pays au chapitre de la baisse de la pauvret\u00e9, du d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique et de la certitude, il faut renouer ces liens entre la Couronne et les peuples autochtones, redorer le blason de la Couronne, r\u00e9tablir cette notion du devoir de consulter et d'accommoder, cette notion de responsabilit\u00e9 fiduciaire du gouvernement. Nous avons l'occasion de changer les choses. </p>"
