Justin Trudeau at Thompson Rivers University gives his opinion of Idle No More

Justin Trudeau came to Thompson Rivers University today to promote his intention to run for the leadership of the Federal Liberal party.  He stopped this morning to talk to Shelley Joyce of CBC's Daybreak.
Trudeau arrived at Thompson Rivers University just before 6 Pm and the hall was packed, standing room only as Trudeau addressed the crowd.
His speech was similar to most campaign speeches filled with promises to help a suffering and cynical middle class that is distrustful of the current government. 
The one notable point that Trudeau made was that beginning this Spring the Federal Liberal party will be allowing anyone who is not affiliated with another Federal political party to vote for the leader of the Federal Liberal party.

The following is a transcription and audio from the question period following Mr. Trudeau's speech on the question of Idle No More.

WOMAN:  My question is on Idle No More.[murmuring]  So with Aboriginal issues becoming more on the Canadian conscience the next election it might actually finally be a hot topic.  What are the sort of plans you have if your government comes to power?

TRUDEAU: Well, first of all when people look at.  A lot of people, politicians look at a movement like Idle No More they look at it as a problem.  I'm looking at it as an extraordinary opportunity.  The fact that we have so many grassroots First Nations, Metis, Aboriginal and Inuit activists coming together and saying you know what it's time to get something done.  It's time we fulfill those promises that have been made time and time again and not fulfilled.  It's time we started working together, especially since like I say the largest percentage of young people in this country are in our aboriginal communities.  We need to get this right not just because of a moral imperative that we should feel shamed for.  What we have done in the past as a country which we absolutely should but because if we want to get our future right we're going to need these young people and whats more we're going to need the solutions and values that come from the traditions that have successfully thrived on this land for millennial.  The idea of thinking long term, the idea of caring for the land that in return cares for us.  The idea that we do not inherit the land from our parents but that we borrow it from our grandchildren. [applause] These are the things we need to start thinking about. [applause]... that means starting a relationship based on respect and partnership and shared goals that is the starting point. That's where we go from here.  Thank you.
