Mr. Chair, Point of Order on 3.2(3)(i) imputes false or hidden motives to another Member.
I do not accept, Mr. Chair, that if all the children in care were Caucasian that this government would have a different tactic. This government, its Cabinet, this whole of this government is -- the majority of Cabinet are Indigenous. And at no time have we said that we shall punish children because they are Indigenous, that we do not care about our children because they are Indigenous, that we give less services because they are Indigenous.
I do not believe in my heart that we would do any different for our children in care if they were all Caucasian. I believe, Mr. Chair, that we are doing the best we can to provide services. And I believe that the Minister responsible is trying to work with Indigenous governments, has supported the federal government move to actually have the children -- the Indigenous governments take over the care of their children, which is the right thing to do. So I take offence that any Member that says that this would be different from our government if these children were Caucasian is totally offensive, and I do not accept that from any Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
