I would like to ask the member about the place that the UN declaration has in the bill. Clause 6 talks about the recognition of the right to indigenous languages, yet it only refers to section 35 of our Constitution of 1982. It does not refer to the specific articles on indigenous language in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5766229\" data-originallang=\"en\">Could the hon. member comment? The government has especially referred to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as the basis for its new nation-to-nation relationship with indigenous peoples.</p>",

J'aimerais conna\u00eetre le point de vue de la d\u00e9put\u00e9e sur la place faite dans le projet de loi \u00e0 cette d\u00e9claration des Nations unies. \u00c0 l'article 6, il est question de la reconnaissance des droits relatifs aux langues autochtones, mais on ne fait allusion qu'\u00e0 l'article 35 de la Loi constitutionnelle de 1982. On n'y mentionne pas les articles de la D\u00e9claration qui portent sur les langues autochtones.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5766229\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e pourrait-elle nous dire ce qu'elle en pense? Le gouvernement a pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 que la D\u00e9claration des Nations unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones est la base sur laquelle repose sa nouvelle relation de nation \u00e0 nation avec les peuples autochtones.</p>"
