Mr. Speaker, I request that it be carried on division.

What This Vote Is Really About

This vote is about a proposed law called Bill C-10. This law wants to create a new job for someone to help make sure the government keeps its promises in modern treaties. These treaties are important agreements between the government and Indigenous peoples. The person in this new job would act like a referee. They would watch to make sure the government does what it said it would do in these treaties. This is important because it helps build trust and ensures fairness for Indigenous communities. If this law passes, it means there will be a dedicated person whose job is to make sure these agreements are followed. This could lead to better relationships between the government and Indigenous groups and help solve problems if promises are not kept. Citizens should care because it's about fairness and respecting agreements with Indigenous peoples across Canada.

This decision was made by "passed without counting" — no individual MP votes were counted.
