Yes, they're a priority. Our three departments—meaning my department, Minister Chartrand's department and Minister Gull‑Masty's department—aren't the only departments that should focus on indigenous communities. All departments should do so. For example, when it comes to housing, the people at Build Canada Homes must also work with indigenous peoples. Instead of only our three departments receiving funding to do all the work for indigenous communities, all departments need to make this a priority.
