Indigenous Affairs

During Question Period on Indigenous Affairs, members discussed how budget 2026 addresses First Nations communities. The Conservatives cited the death of Miranda Mamakwa after the non-insured health benefits program failed to arrange her medical travel, and said the budget does not fix medical travel costs, doctor shortages in remote communities, or high living costs, and that housing funds are frozen or cut, amounting to few homes per First Nation per year against the Prime Minister’s promise to end homelessness. The Liberals replied that the budget invests over $3 billion in Indigenous health care, plus education and infrastructure, and commits $32 billion over ten years to First Nations housing and infrastructure, which they said is substantially more than past federal spending.Written by AI from the debate.
