Madam Speaker, my colleague talked about indigenous people's feeding their kids. I will tell members what it is like in my riding, where the Nuu-chah-nulth went to court to actually exercise their constitutionally protected rights to fish so they could feed their kids. What did the Conservatives do when in power? They fought them; they spent millions of dollars fighting them in court. When the Nuu-chah-nulth won in court, what did the Conservatives do? They appealed. Not once but twice did the courts side with the Nuu-chah-nulth. All that the people wanted to do was get back on the water and fish to feed their children. The MP who sat in the House before me did not say “Nuu-chah-nulth” once in 15 years. The Nuu-chah-nulth felt unheard and invisible in this place. I have said “Nuu-chah-nulth" 94 times. Will the Conservatives support the Nuu-chah-nulth? Will they support nations that have won in court to defend their constitutionally protected rights to feed their kids, or will they continue supporting litigation against indigenous people?

Madam Speaker, while I appreciate the passion from the member across the way, the issue is similar to what we are talking about right now. The member opposite from the NDP supports the current government. What we are talking about right now is the 133 Ontario chiefs who are bringing the government to court because the consultations broke down because the government refused to even talk to the chiefs about issuing a carve-out or trying to alleviate the misery of their people. The NDP keeps supporting the government. Will you stop supporting the government and pull back on your commitment to—

Mr. Speaker, we will take no lessons from the Conservatives when it comes to supporting the most vulnerable in Canada. Let us review the facts. UNICEF came out with a report just this month that showed child poverty in Canada has decreased by 22% compared to where the Conservatives left Canadians. Under our government, 2.3 million more Canadians have been lifted out of poverty. The Conservatives know how to cut. They do not know how to support Canadians.

Madam Speaker, at this point, I normally say that I appreciate working alongside my colleague, but I am very adamant that I need to tell the truth at all times in this chamber. If the Conservative member is concerned about first nations communities, will he commit to supporting the Assembly of First Nations' call for an additional $30 billion in climate adaptation funding for communities?

Madam Speaker, the constituents of Vancouver Granville, and all British Columbians, believe in the importance of supporting small business and supporting organizations in our communities, and they deserve to know which members of the House stand with them or against them. That is why I am requesting a recorded vote.
