It was very clear from my discussions and my hon. colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"170315\" href=\"/politicians/jean-crowder/\" title=\"Jean Crowder\">Nanaimo\u2014Cowichan</a>'s interventions with first nations people that not every community acknowledges or buys into what the Conservatives are putting forward. There are legitimate concerns.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3418889\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I am wondering if the member could advise the House as to what degree the government is willing to acknowledge those concerns and sit down with first nations to resolve issues that affect communities across this country.</p>",
