If we leave the table completely, we will truly be “out of sight and out of mind.” This will leave First Nations people in the territory in an even more vulnerable state.

I am confident that the First Nations in the territory will continue to act to protect their aboriginal and treaty rights over the imposition of Bill 191. I, and the First Nations across Ontario, support them in their efforts and will continue to support them. Bill 191 has passed, but I believe that with good faith and the political will of the Ontario government a reasonable and peaceful plan forward can be found and must be found.
