That includes the watershed bill to enshrine the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples into Canadian law; as well as a desperately needed bill to require better training for judges in the country to deal with sexual assault cases.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5858589\" data-originallang=\"en\">The time is now to get these bills passed. Therefore, I hope that if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent for the following motion:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5858590\" data-originallang=\"en\"> That, in the opinion of the House, Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8160636\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-262/\" title=\"An Act to ensure that the laws of Canada are in harmony with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples\">C-262, An Act to ensure that the laws of Canada are in harmony with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples</a>, as well as Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8783394\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-337/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Judges Act and the Criminal Code (sexual assault)\">C-337, An Act to amend the Judges Act and the Criminal Code (sexual assault)</a>, are both critical pieces of legislation that have been duly passed by the House of Commons, and have been in possession of the honourable Senators for many months; that both bills should be passed into law at the earliest opportunity; and that a message be sent to the Senate to acquaint that House accordingly. </p>\n</blockquote>",
