Mr. Speaker, as we approach National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21, indigenous and non-indigenous people from across Canada will engage in meaningful celebrations. At the same time, we will undertake important reflections on our past and on the path that we are on to secure a better future. Manitoba is home to Canada's largest indigenous population. Alongside our provincial colleagues, we have been working hard to build bridges through new investments and partnerships, including with Canada's first-ever first nations premier. Can the Prime Minister offer the House his reflections on the important progress that we have made together on our collective journey towards truth and reconciliation?

  • Re: Bill C-29 
Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Winnipeg South Centre for his commitment to reconciliation. We will always be there for indigenous people, and we will keep working with them in full partnership. As a government, we created the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We appointed the first-ever indigenous Governor General and indigenous Supreme Court Justice, and we created the indigenous languages commissioner. We also recently passed legislation, Bill C-29, to keep future governments accountable on the path of reconciliation to work with indigenous peoples. We are all excited to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day with indigenous communities later this week.
