I want to thank you for that very important question.
We know that in the overdose crisis, when we look at the numbers and some of the most vulnerable, we see that there are disproportionate numbers within our indigenous communities in terms of risk of death from overdosing. That disproportional impact has to do with decades upon decades of systemic and institutional racism, colonialism and intergenerational trauma. The lack of access to culturally appropriate substance use services and supports has been something our government is committed to addressing.
I'm working with Minister Hajdu, as I mentioned in my opening remarks. We're working hand in hand to ensure mental wellness and substance use supports are in place. We've allocated $650 million in the current cycle to ensure indigenous communities—both on reserve and off reserve in urban settings—are getting the services they need.
