Mr. Michel Gauthier (Roberval): Mr. Speaker, considering that several Mohawks have suffered intimidation, especially women whose Indian status had been newly restored, and considering the major role played by the federal government in maintaining law and order through the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, does the government intend to intervene and act on this distress call? Hon. Herb Gray (Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Solicitor General of Canada): Mr. Speaker, as I just said, maintaining law and order comes under the provincial government, and the RCMP has no role to play in this kind of situation.
L'hon. Herb Gray (leader du gouvernement à la Chambre des communes et solliciteur général du Canada): Monsieur le Président, ces rapports sont troublants, mais les incidents en question relèvent de la juridiction provinciale.
