"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5189401\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, absolutely, it is a step in the direction of reconciliation and breaking down those walls of exclusion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5189402\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is one small step, as I noted. Call to action 79.i is a way of recognizing that, right now, the commemorations program excludes the voices of our indigenous communities. Until we have representation there, we will continue to have those barriers to full inclusion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5189403\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is why I feel this bill is so important, to have the structure of the board changed to accommodate, officially, a representative of first nations, M\u00e9tis, and Inuit. That will help us move forward in reconciliation.</p>",

L'appel \u00e0 l'action 79.i est un moyen de reconna\u00eetre qu'actuellement, les programmes de comm\u00e9moration excluent les voix des communaut\u00e9s autochtones. Tant que ces communaut\u00e9s n'auront pas voix au chapitre, l'exclusion continuera d'exister.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5189403\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voil\u00e0 pourquoi je pense que cette mesure l\u00e9gislative est si importante en vue de changer la structure de la Commission afin qu'elle accueille officiellement un repr\u00e9sentant des Premi\u00e8res Nations, des M\u00e9tis et des Inuits. Nous pourrons ainsi favoriser la r\u00e9conciliation.</p>"
