Madam Chair, with respect to cultural changes, I want to talk about something that I did not have the time to address. In a conversation about culture and respect for cultures we cannot ignore what happened with the residential schools. I want to say it here because it was absolutely cruel. The purpose was to “kill the Indian in the child”. No one can talk about respecting culture and then go after children or go after these people's futures. For far too long Canada sought to kill these cultures. I repeat: Never should anyone try to “kill the Indian in the child”.
