Mr. Speaker, it is nice to see you sitting in the House on a Friday. I thank my hon. colleague for his very interesting speech. One thing about this bill that really stood out for me is the part that replaces the term “mentally incompetent Indian” with the term “dependent person”. Does the member agree with me that, in this example, the language used by the government is demeaning? Does he agree that it is time to stop discriminating against people with disabilities and be much more inclusive?
