These investments are not just financial commitments; they are critical steps toward fulfilling Canada's fiduciary obligations to first nations and addressing historical inequities to ensure the health, safety and prosperity of first nations people.
Yesterday I had an opportunity to make a presentation to five ministers and three parliamentary secretaries at the Shaw Centre here in Ottawa. I gave them an analogy. I said to consider an apple being eaten. We say that an apple is eaten one bite at a time. We have a large apple in front of us right now, an extremely large one, and we're not going to eat it with little bites. We need some big bites, and we need investment in big bites to try to improve the situation, especially if we're still going to talk about a target of 2030.
