Mr. Speaker, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Can the Minister of Indigenous Services update the House on what our government is doing to advance reconciliation and renew the relationship with indigenous people across this country?

Mandy Gull-Masty, Minister of Indigenous Services

Liberal
“Our government is working as full partners with Indigenous communities. We are reforming family services and improving drinking water, health care, and education. We are also supporting an Inuit-led university, fighting tuberculosis, and helping families get enough food.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, reconciliation means working in full partnership with indigenous communities. We are doing that work by advancing child and family services reform and working on clean drinking water, health care and education. This includes supporting Canada’s first Inuit-led university and also doing the critical work on tuberculosis elimination and strengthening food security for children and families across this country. This is our enduring commitment to reconciliation and the calls to action. This is what we recognize on September 30 and every day after that.
