Mr. Speaker, continuing on the theme of indigenous-led project development, I would like to highlight some of the many exciting projects that are taking place across this country. In Ontario, the Six Nations is developing one of the largest battery storage projects, called Oneida Energy Storage. In New Brunswick, the Tobique first nation is delivering the Burchill wind project near Saint John, one of the largest in my region of Atlantic Canada. In Northwest Territories, the indigenous-led Denendeh exploration and mining company received $5 million in support to transform an older silver mine into a critical minerals facility. In the member's own province of Saskatchewan, we worked hand in hand with the Cowessess first nation to deliver the Awasis solar farm and the Bekevar wind project, which are creating hundreds of good construction jobs and ensuring long-term revenues go back to the first nations. Unlike the Conservatives, our leader takes economic reconciliation very seriously.
