Whereas; the Doctrine of Discovery is invalid, racist, and oppressive, and

Whereas, the GPC has called for the repudiation of the Doctrine of Discovery because it impacts on Indigenous sovereignty and disallows for the free and full expression of sovereign Indigenous rights, and

Whereas, the GPC through numerous policies has expressed support for Indigenous rights, title and sovereignty,

Therefore Be It Resolved that the GPC will publicly issue a national statement that the GPC offers itself as a public champion and ally to Indigenous people.

You can access the workshop version of this proposal here, which the submitter is still able to edit.

Car ; la doctrine de la découverte est invalide, raciste et oppressive, et

que le GPC a demandé la répudiation de la doctrine de la découverte parce qu'elle a un impact sur la souveraineté autochtone et empêche l'expression libre et entière des droits souverains des Autochtones, et

Compte tenu du fait que le GPC, par le biais de nombreuses politiques, a exprimé son soutien aux droits, titres et souveraineté autochtones,

Il est donc résolu que le GPC publiera une déclaration nationale selon laquelle le GPC se présente comme un champion public et un allié des peuples autochtones.
