… our people have suffered from a credit crisis ever since the Indian Act was passed. That is a 140-year depression. This legislation will help to end that. It will allow members to earn equity and borrow against it. We will finally be able to take out mortgages and business loans on our own lands as easily as anyone else… If we choose, we can abandon the paternalistic practice of having lands held in trust and overcome the constraints of a 19th century Indian Act.
