        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7741474\" data-originallang=\"en\"> <em>Uqaqtittiji</em>, before colonization, Inuit, first nations and M\u00e9tis were self-governing nations that each had their own forms of keeping well with each other. They had their own laws governing behaviours. They had their own laws governing land and wildlife management. Indigenous peoples were independent nations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7741475\" data-originallang=\"en\">Since about 150 years ago, the ravages of colonialism and the genocide against indigenous peoples have resulted in too many examples, such as what we saw in the tragic story of Dale Arthur Culver. To his family and friends, some of whom I had the privilege of meeting, I again send my sincerest condolences.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7741476\" data-originallang=\"en\"> For those who may have forgotten, Dale Arthur Culver was a first nations young man from British Columbia. He was racially profiled, which led to his untimely death. I still find it appalling that it took six years to have charges laid against the five RCMP officers who were responsible for his death. Dale and his family deserve justice.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7741477\" data-originallang=\"en\">One hundred fifty years later, even after the ravages of colonialism, we are seeing indigenous self-determination. Most nations are starting to be self-governing again, which I am so proud of.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7741478\" data-originallang=\"en\">When I first asked the government when it would finally introduce an indigenous policing bill, which it promised it would introduce years ago, instead of answering the question, the government responded by saying it has provided funding. As such, I will repeat my question: When will the current government pass legislation so indigenous peoples can keep themselves safe?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7741474\" data-originallang=\"en\"> <em>Uqaqtittiji</em>, avant la colonisation, les Inuits, les Premi\u00e8res Nations et les M\u00e9tis \u00e9taient des nations autonomes qui avaient chacune leurs propres moyens d'assurer de bonnes relations entre elles. Elles avaient leurs propres lois r\u00e9gissant les comportements. Elles avaient leurs propres lois r\u00e9gissant la gestion des terres et de la faune. Les peuples autochtones \u00e9taient des nations ind\u00e9pendantes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7741475\" data-originallang=\"en\">Depuis environ 150 ans, les ravages du colonialisme et le g\u00e9nocide des peuples autochtones ont donn\u00e9 lieu \u00e0 beaucoup trop d'exemples, comme celui que nous avons vu dans l'histoire tragique de Dale Arthur Culver. J'offre \u00e0 nouveau mes plus sinc\u00e8res condol\u00e9ances \u00e0 sa famille et \u00e0 ses amis, dont certains que j'ai eu le privil\u00e8ge de rencontrer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7741476\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour ceux qui l'auraient oubli\u00e9, Dale Arthur Culver \u00e9tait un jeune homme des Premi\u00e8res Nations de la Colombie\u2011Britannique. Il a fait l'objet d'un profilage racial, ce qui a conduit \u00e0 son d\u00e9c\u00e8s pr\u00e9matur\u00e9. Je continue de penser qu'il est \u00e9pouvantable qu'il ait fallu six ans pour que des accusations soient port\u00e9es contre les cinq agents de la GRC responsables de sa mort. M. Culver et sa famille m\u00e9ritent que justice soit faite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7741477\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cent cinquante ans plus tard, m\u00eame apr\u00e8s les ravages du colonialisme, nous assistons \u00e0 l'autod\u00e9termination des Autochtones. La plupart des nations recommencent \u00e0 s'autogouverner, ce dont je suis tr\u00e8s fi\u00e8re.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7741478\" data-originallang=\"en\">La premi\u00e8re fois que j'ai demand\u00e9 au gouvernement quand il pr\u00e9senterait enfin un projet de loi sur les services de police autochtones, une promesse qu'il a faite il y a des ann\u00e9es, le gouvernement a refus\u00e9 de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la question et a dit qu'il avait d\u00e9bloqu\u00e9 des fonds. Par cons\u00e9quent, je r\u00e9p\u00e8te ma question: quand le gouvernement actuel fera-t-il adopter un projet de loi permettant aux peuples autochtones de se prot\u00e9ger?</p>"
