Mr. Speaker, this work is incredibly important and, frankly, crucial. However, as the member opposite has stated, it is complex. It is complex in the sense that it is not for the federal government to implement what it feels is best. This is a nation-to-nation partnership, and we must walk together. It is incredibly important to note that indigenous communities across this country will have different needs and that our government must address each and every one of those needs where communities are at. We are deeply committed to doing so. We have made significant progress. However, until all of these issues are resolved, it is work that must continue to happen.

Mr. Speaker, I think the parliamentary secretary has laid out the need for an ongoing commitment that involves exactly that. It is more than just a collaboration; it is truly a partnership, and that takes time. I think that we recognize the urgency, but we also recognize the need to do things right. As long as the conversation keeps going, as long as the commitment is there and we can retain the trust and the partnership, we will get to those goals that we so sorely need to reach.
