Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Brampton South for her advocacy. She is right that for too long indigenous people have been facing discrimination as they access health care. However, everyone in the country has the right to quality health care. In 2018, our government contributed $158 million to plan the replacement of the Weeneebayko hospital in northern Ontario. As I said in the House last month, we are going to get that health centre built. The federal government is contributing $1.2 billion so that all members in the Weeneebayko area region have equal access to health care.
