There were 94 calls to action. Our <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> and our government are fully committed to implementing all of them, and we are taking on some very significant recommendations as we speak. I sit on the indigenous and northern affairs committee. Right now, we are debating the merits of UNDRIP. We are having a very significant discussion, with many legal experts coming forward. We believe that UNDRIP is a significant enough recommendation. We have to take the time to do it properly. It would be impossible to do all 94 calls to action within the first mandate, so this is a process that is going to continue well into the second mandate.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5361428\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je n\u2019accepte pas les sous-entendus de cette question. Je ne trouve pas que nous avons \u00e9chou\u00e9. Nous avons 94 appels \u00e0 l\u2019action. Le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> et le gouvernement sont absolument r\u00e9solus \u00e0 r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 chacun d\u2019eux, et nous assumons \u00e0 l\u2019heure actuelle la concr\u00e9tisation de recommandations tr\u00e8s importantes. Je si\u00e8ge au comit\u00e9 des affaires autochtones et du Nord. Nous y d\u00e9battons du bien-fond\u00e9 de la D\u00e9claration des Nations unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones. Notre d\u00e9bat est tr\u00e8s approfondi. Les t\u00e9moins entendus sont des experts juridiques. Nous consid\u00e9rons la D\u00e9claration comme une recommandation cruciale. Nous devons cependant consacrer le temps voulu pour bien faire les choses. Il nous serait impossible de r\u00e9gler les 94 appels \u00e0 l\u2019action pendant notre premier mandat. Ce processus se poursuivra pendant le deuxi\u00e8me mandat.</p>"
