I know that he has been doing great work raising awareness on a number of pieces of legislation, including the omnibus bill, Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5754371\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-45/\" title=\"A second Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures\">C-45</a>, and Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5258273\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-27/\" title=\"An Act to enhance the financial accountability and transparency of First Nations\">C-27</a>, the financial transparency and accountability act, which the Conservatives have pushed through. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3279684\" data-originallang=\"en\">When it comes to NunatuKavut and other nations across the country, one of the things we observe is that while the comprehensive land claims and treaty or self-government agreements are stalled in negotiations, or not even accepted for negotiation, development is taking place on the traditional territories, whether it be forestry or mining. The people who have inhabited those lands for millennia are not benefiting from that development or are having no say when it comes to the environmental impact. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3279685\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Fort Chipewyan First Nations in Alberta are very concerned about the environmental impact on their communities. On the west coast, we have forestry. In Ontario, there is the Ring of Fire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3279686\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I wonder if the member could comment specifically on why it is important to move forward on negotiating these comprehensive land claims and treaty and self-government agreements so that the people who live in those territories have a say about the kind of development that is happening. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3279683\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je tiens \u00e0 f\u00e9liciter le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170604\" href=\"/politicians/jonathan-genest-jourdain/\" title=\"Jonathan Genest-Jourdain\">Manicouagan</a> de son excellent discours et de son grand d\u00e9vouement. Je sais qu'il a beaucoup fait pour sensibiliser les gens \u00e0 de nombreuses mesures l\u00e9gislatives, y compris le projet de loi omnibus <a data-HoCid=\"5754371\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-45/\" title=\"A second Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures\">C-45</a> et la loi sur l'obligation redditionnelle et la transparence en mati\u00e8re financi\u00e8re, le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5258273\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-27/\" title=\"An Act to enhance the financial accountability and transparency of First Nations\">C-27</a>, dont les conservateurs ont forc\u00e9 l'adoption. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3279684\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne la Premi\u00e8re Nation de NunatuKavut et d'autres au pays, on constate que, m\u00eame si les n\u00e9gociations entourant les revendications territoriales globales, les trait\u00e9s ou les ententes d'autonomie gouvernementale en sont au point mort, ou qu'on refuse m\u00eame de n\u00e9gocier, des activit\u00e9s de d\u00e9veloppement ont lieu sur les territoires traditionnels, que ce soit dans le domaine forestier ou minier. Ceux qui habitent ces terres depuis des mill\u00e9naires ne retirent rien de ces activit\u00e9s de d\u00e9veloppement, ou n'ont aucun mot \u00e0 dire en ce qui concerne leur impact sur l'environnement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3279685\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Premi\u00e8re Nation de Fort Chipewyan, en Alberta, est tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9occup\u00e9e par l'impact environnemental sur ses collectivit\u00e9s. Sur la c\u00f4te Ouest, il s'agit de l'industrie foresti\u00e8re. En Ontario, il s'agit du Cercle de feu. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3279686\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait nous dire pourquoi il est important de faire progresser les n\u00e9gociations concernant les revendications territoriales globales, les trait\u00e9s et les ententes d'autonomie gouvernementale, afin que les peuples qui vivent sur ces territoires aient leur mot \u00e0 dire au sujet du d\u00e9veloppement qui s'y d\u00e9roule.</p>"
