        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6054704\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the member spoke about many issues that were different from the Coastal GasLink project. I agree with the member that there are many instances that need to be identified and discussed, instances of injustice against indigenous peoples and of violation of fundamental human rights of indigenous peoples.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6054705\" data-originallang=\"en\">I made the very specific point in my remarks that one of the rights, which has in the past at times been denied to indigenous people, is the right to democratic self-determination. This means the choice to proceed or not proceed with certain development projects.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6054706\" data-originallang=\"en\">What we have before us right now is debate on a motion about a case in which the democratically elected representatives of an indigenous nation want to move forward with a project. In fact, all 20 affected nations want to move forward. Then there are radical activists, in a different province predominantly, who are opposed to that democratic decision by indigenous people.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6054707\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is one issue on which I think we should be able to agree: that respecting indigenous rights means respecting the rights of those elected representatives. There are many other issues that we need to talk about. My speech was about this particular issue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6054708\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, I agree with the member that more work needs to be done across a broad spectrum of issues on reconciliation. I look forward to working together on those issues.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6054704\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a parl\u00e9 de nombreux enjeux qui n'avaient rien \u00e0 voir avec le projet Coastal GasLink. Je suis d'accord avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pour dire qu'il y a de nombreux probl\u00e8mes qui doivent \u00eatre cern\u00e9s et dont il faut discuter, dont des injustices contre les peuples autochtones et des atteintes aux droits fondamentaux des peuples autochtones.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6054705\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai soulev\u00e9 un point tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9cis dans mes remarques, \u00e0 savoir que l'un des droits dont les Autochtones ont parfois \u00e9t\u00e9 priv\u00e9s dans le pass\u00e9 est le droit \u00e0 l'autod\u00e9termination d\u00e9mocratique. Ce droit leur donne le choix d'entreprendre ou non certains projets de d\u00e9veloppement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6054706\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9bat d'aujourd'hui porte sur une motion qui traite d'une situation o\u00f9 les repr\u00e9sentants d\u00e9mocratiquement \u00e9lus d'une nation autochtone veulent aller de l'avant avec un projet. C'est d'ailleurs ce que souhaitent les 20 nations concern\u00e9es. Il y a ensuite des militants radicaux qui se trouvent surtout dans une autre province et qui s'opposent \u00e0 cette d\u00e9cision d\u00e9mocratique des peuples autochtones.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6054707\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 mon avis, il s'agit d'une question sur laquelle nous devrions pouvoir nous entendre, c'est-\u00e0-dire que le respect des droits des Autochtones signifie le respect des droits de leurs repr\u00e9sentants \u00e9lus. Il y a beaucoup d'autres points dont nous devons parler. Mon discours portait sur cette question en particulier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6054708\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toutefois, je suis d'accord avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pour dire qu'il reste du travail \u00e0 faire dans un large \u00e9ventail de questions relatives \u00e0 la r\u00e9conciliation. Je me r\u00e9jouis \u00e0 l'id\u00e9e que nous travaillions ensemble sur ces questions.</p>"
