I would like to remind colleagues from all sides of the House that we must be very careful about using the word “lies”. Although it was not directed at an individual, it is really important that we not use language that can disturb the affairs of the House. The hon. minister.

Mr. Speaker, the member across knows not to use such language, and he knows that there is no evidence for the kind of language he is using that supports that. The government and the opposition parties all voted to bring this gentleman before the bar of the House of Commons, expecting answers. Parliamentarians are entitled to answers. We voted to get the answers, just like they did.

Mr. Speaker, first nations in B.C. have suffered enormous loss throughout their 200-year history of colonization, including the devastating loss of language and culture. Although nations continue to make tremendous progress revitalizing their languages, the Liberals' new formula on funding means a 60% cut to language programs in B.C. Preserving and revitalizing indigenous languages is an essential step to reconciliation. Will the government remember its most important relationship with first nations and act with urgency to ensure sustained and long-term funding for language programs in British Columbia?
