Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and Members. I am heartened by a recent report of the Law Reform Commission of Canada which proposes a system of justice based on aboriginal traditions and beliefs for First Nations peoples. I believe that it is only through the establishment of these sorts of aboriginal institutions that native people will break free of the pattern of victimization that has plagued us throughout the history of Canada. I would urge the cabinet and my colleagues in this House to remember this in all our efforts to develop a constitutional framework for our northern homelands. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
