        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4269314\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, there is a lot of talk about reconciliation nation-to-nation since the government arrived on October 19, so it is important to elaborate on that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4269315\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Truth and Reconciliation Commission adopted a very important report. In that report are 94 calls to action. Most governments in the country, provincial, territories, and the federal government, have committed to implementing those 94 calls to action. However, the most important call to action is 43, which deals with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The commission makes the distinction clearly between adopting and implementing. The commission calls for the full adoption, the full implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4269316\" data-originallang=\"en\">I argue that the UN declaration already applies in the country. Not too many years ago, Supreme Court Chief Justice Dickson mentioned that international instruments like declarations were persuasive in relevant sources to interpret domestic law in the country. Therefore, the declaration already applies. My private member's bill proposes to translate that legislatively through the House.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4269314\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il y a beaucoup de choses \u00e0 dire en ce qui concerne les mesures prises pour assurer la r\u00e9conciliation entre les nations depuis que le gouvernement est arriv\u00e9 au pouvoir, le 19 octobre. Il est donc important de fournir des pr\u00e9cisions \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4269315\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Commission de v\u00e9rit\u00e9 et r\u00e9conciliation a adopt\u00e9 un rapport tr\u00e8s important, qui comporte 94 appels \u00e0 l'action. La majorit\u00e9 des gouvernements du pays, qu'il s'agisse des gouvernements provinciaux, des gouvernements territoriaux ou du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, se sont engag\u00e9s \u00e0 mettre en oeuvre ces 94 appels \u00e0 l'action. Cela dit, le plus important d'entre eux est le 43<sup>e</sup> appel \u00e0 l'action, qui porte sur la D\u00e9claration des Nations unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones. La Commission a fait une distinction tr\u00e8s claire entre l'adoption et la mise en oeuvre de la d\u00e9claration. Elle exige que la D\u00e9claration des Nations unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones soit adopt\u00e9e et mise en oeuvre int\u00e9gralement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4269316\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 mon avis, la d\u00e9claration des Nations unies s'applique d\u00e9j\u00e0 au pays. Il y a quelques ann\u00e9es, le juge en chef de la Cour supr\u00eame, M. Dickson, a mentionn\u00e9 que certains instruments internationaux, comme les d\u00e9clarations, sont des sources pertinentes et convaincantes en ce qui concerne l'interpr\u00e9tation des lois canadiennes. Par cons\u00e9quent, la d\u00e9claration s'applique d\u00e9j\u00e0. Mon projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire propose de r\u00e9gir le tout par voie l\u00e9gislative \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>"
