The impacts of governments, churches, and the RCMP are still very deep within our communities, and because of that, it's very challenging. When I was campaigning, for example, I heard many people say, “What's the point of voting, when it's not going to make any difference?” Many first nations, Métis, and Inuit have lost the sense of using their voice, because their voice doesn't matter.
We all need to work harder to make sure that we hear first nations, Métis, and Inuit, and make sure that when we're hearing them, we're making decisions that have better impacts for their communities.
