Context: House Hansard - 112 - Oct/18/22
Mrs. Cathay Wagantall (Yorkton—Melville, CPC)
Madam Speaker, Cote First Nation is in my riding and it means a great deal to me to be able to support this today. Isabella is a beautiful young woman and her parents are amazing. As a matter of fact, Chief George and I have talked often about the things they are doing within their first nation and the work that is moving forward to make their place one that is welcoming and safe. I really respect the work they are doing, even the tiny homes that a number of them are working together to build. Those opportunities to build something give them a chance to see what they can become, a plumber, an electrician or whatever. They are engaged significantly. I want to mention Yorkton Tribal Council, Chief Acoose, Chief George and those involved in the riding. What I hear over and over again is, “We are excited to work together to see us move forward with reconciliation.” The efforts that went into dealing with the circumstances around what Isabella faced were significant. I am excited to say, “Well done, Isabella.” We look forward to this bill going forward.
