  • description: "Mr. Speaker, in 2008, the Conservatives promised reconciliation. Today, hundreds of young indigenous walkers are on Parliament Hill to remind us of that promise. But instead of welcoming them, the Prime Minister chose to greet two pandas that were FedExed from China. It just shows their priorities, Mr. Speaker. Instead of listening, the government showed more paternalistic attitudes toward first nations youth imposing a punitive workfare program. What is needed is effective skills training and an investment in education. What will it take? How many more kilometres need to be walked before the Conservative government listens to first nations people?"
