“High costs hit marginalized and Indigenous people especially hard. Can the parliamentary secretary explain how our government's programs help Indigenous communities in his riding and across the country?”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary for his speech. I know he is very involved in advocating for indigenous communities. He is the chair of our national Liberal indigenous caucus, and I have learned a lot from him. We know that when there are pressures with respect to affordability, marginalized communities often feel them more acutely than others. I wonder if my colleague could speak to the different programs and benefits our government has introduced and how they specifically affect the indigenous communities in his riding and across the country.”
