    When he comes up with a plan that actually moves the First Nations people’s forward, he can go right ahead.

    Just calling to abolish it without any protections moving forward, even if the exist ones suck, is not the better option. Dropping the act and just letting the chips fall where they may is a fucking bad idea.

      It’s also illegal. Treaty Rights predate and, thus, supercede the Constitution. (As ruled by the Supreme Court.)

        And we certainly haven’t gone against any of our agreements from the past.

        I still stand on my opinion that if they’re not actively moving First Nations relations forward with a new legal structure, abolishing an existing one is an incredibly bad idea.
