Her name is Dona Aloise Letnes and I am very proud to carry her middle name.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6363871\" data-originallang=\"en\">When we come back to this issue, what I need to know here is why is the federal government choosing not to implement the Spirit Bear Plan? This is a plan that has been endorsed by multiple agencies that really addresses the core, which is that indigenous children deserve a childhood.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6363872\" data-originallang=\"en\">We know that in September 2019, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal found that Canada's discrimination toward first nations children was under the federal first nations child welfare program and that it was ongoing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6363873\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does the <a data-HoCid=\"253127\" href=\"/politicians/pam-damoff/\" title=\"Pam Damoff\">parliamentary secretary</a> acknowledge that Canada is still actively discriminating against first nations children in this country and that it is time to end that? That does not come with just compensation. It comes with making sure indigenous children have a childhood.</p>",

Je suis tr\u00e8s fi\u00e8re de porter son deuxi\u00e8me pr\u00e9nom. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6363871\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour revenir \u00e0 la question, ce que j'aimerais savoir est pourquoi le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de ne pas mettre en \u0153uvre le plan Spirit Bear? Ce plan, qui a re\u00e7u l'appui de nombreux organismes, va au c\u0153ur de la question, \u00e0 savoir que les enfants autochtones ont droit \u00e0 une enfance. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6363872\" data-originallang=\"en\">En septembre 2019, le Tribunal canadien des droits de la personne a conclu qu'il y avait de la discrimination envers les enfants des Premi\u00e8res Nations dans le cadre du programme f\u00e9d\u00e9ral de protection de l'enfance des Premi\u00e8res Nations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6363873\" data-originallang=\"en\">La <a data-HoCid=\"253127\" href=\"/politicians/pam-damoff/\" title=\"Pam Damoff\">secr\u00e9taire parlementaire</a> reconna\u00eet-elle que le Canada poursuit sa discrimination envers les enfants des Premi\u00e8res Nations du pays et qu'il est temps d'y mettre fin? Il ne s'agit pas seulement d'indemniser. Il faut aussi veiller \u00e0 ce que les enfants autochtones aient une enfance.</p>"
