        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5456794\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I appreciate the comments of the hon. member, who is putting forward that she is speaking on behalf of all in her riding, but the whole purpose and intent of the UNDRIP is to end this colonial regime. Essentially, it says that indigenous people, from this time forward, will have the right to make their own determinations on how they are governed and the development of their lands and resources and the impacts on their people. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5456795\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is a case of setting one first nation against another. I work very closely with the Fort McKay First Nation, the Mikisew Cree First Nation, and the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, and as much as, yes, they want the right to participate in any development that impacts their lands and resources, some of which include oil and gas, they are also regularly in court against the Government of Alberta and the federal government, because their rights and interests are not being respected. First and foremost, that is what they see as their responsibility. They have the right, every indigenous community has the right, to self-determine. There is not a quota, nor can my party, the member's party, or the government of the day make that determination on behalf of indigenous peoples.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5456794\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de ses observations. Elle dit s'exprimer au nom de toute sa circonscription, mais la D\u00e9claration des droits des peuples autochtones a justement pour but de mettre fin \u00e0 ce r\u00e9gime colonial. On y dit au fond qu'\u00e0 partir de maintenant, les peuples autochtones ont le droit de d\u00e9terminer eux-m\u00eames de la mani\u00e8re dont ils seront gouvern\u00e9s et dont leurs terres et leurs ressources seront exploit\u00e9es, en tenant compte des r\u00e9percussions sur eux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5456795\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui, certains essaient bel et bien de monter les Premi\u00e8res Nations les unes contre les autres. Je collabore de tr\u00e8s pr\u00e8s avec la nation de Fort McKay, la nation crie de Mikisew et la nation chipewyan d'Athabasca, et s'il est vrai qu'elles revendiquent le droit de participer \u00e0 tout projet de d\u00e9veloppement ayant des r\u00e9percussions sur leurs terres et leurs ressources, y compris le p\u00e9trole et le gaz, elles sont aussi souvent dans l'obligation de tra\u00eener le gouvernement de l'Alberta ou du Canada devant les tribunaux parce que leurs droits et les int\u00e9r\u00eats ne sont pas respect\u00e9s. Voil\u00e0 ce qui, \u00e0 leurs yeux, constitue la premi\u00e8re et la plus grande des responsabilit\u00e9s. Toutes autant qu'elles sont, les Premi\u00e8res Nations ont le droit de se gouverner elles-m\u00eames. Il n'est pas question ici de quotas, et personne \u2014 pas mon parti, ni le parti au pouvoir ni celui de la d\u00e9put\u00e9e \u2014 ne peut d\u00e9cider au nom des peuples autochtones.</p>"
