C-236 Madam Speaker, I rise to support Bill, or McCann's law. Parkland I want to thank my hon. colleague fromfor his relentless work in the mission for justice and closure and his support for those victims and their families who have not received a proper burial, which is something that all humans deserve. I acknowledge the spirit of Lyle and Marie McCann, their family and their never-ending [more]

Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Senator Boyer, for your leadership on this. I acknowledge my colleague, as well, for his leadership. Thanks to all parties for their expediency in getting this done in this Parliament and for getting us to this point. I hope we can keep that momentum going for all the right reasons. I had the opportunity to sit with the Survivors Circle for Reproductive Justice. [more]

Thank you. You mentioned the survivors circle and all the work they're doing and the education pieces going on. Is there more to be said about their role going forward? Obviously, they'll still want to educate and do those types of things, but would they maybe be more involved with implementation in different provincial jurisdictions, such as in educating the AHS in Alberta or other provincial [more]

Thank you. My connection is to the Blood Tribe, too. Thank you for acknowledging the people you spoke to. Fifteen thousand people is too many. One is too many. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I do see cross-partisan support for this. Hopefully that momentum is carried on. Can you talk about the implementation you'd like to see, after the bill is passed, to emphasize the real change [more]

Did you mention the NDP provincially? Is that what it was?

That's all. I like the brevity. Thank you. Thank you, Chair.

Could the commissioner guarantee that you'll stay out of court? Do you anticipate that you'll be staying out of court, given the complexity of government, with 300,000-plus employees, multiple departments and this commissioner, who will have to oversee, sea to sea to sea, 20% or maybe more of Canada's land mass? Do you think you'll still be staying out of court with this position?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Executive Councillor Aucoin, thank you for your directness and your honesty. Whom did you sue?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to all of our guests here today. Professor Wright, you were saying that there's inconsistency when it comes to politics, so this body might help with that. That was what you mentioned. Is that right? I'm going to take it into a bit of a forward-thinking context. In Alberta, we're facing a separation movement. The treaty chiefs are fighting back, but we have no [more]

Okay. For Professor Wright, I'm going to do myself a bit of a disservice, because I support modern treaties. I might come off as against them with this question, and it might be a bit more of a philosophical one. The federal government has 30 departments, give or take, whatever the number is there. There are over 300,000 employees. How would a commissioner make meaningful changes on one or two [more]

Thank you for your answer. You mentioned that you didn't agree with everything in this process, when this legislation was being drafted. However, you said that you did agree with some things, and they were implemented. What were the things you didn't agree with?

I hope you guys can work it out, honestly. If the governments were standing by their treaty commitments, would there be a need for a commissioner?
