Yes. Thank you for this question.
As I mentioned in my remarks, we have a number of reports that have been put out at both the national and provincial levels. There's the “In Plain Sight” report from B.C., the “First Peoples, Second Class Treatment” report, and the recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the study on missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. We have numerous reports that speak to the racism that indigenous people face in the health care system, and this is happening to us on a daily basis and really affects access to care.
One of the ways to combat it is by having indigenous health care providers. The closer to the community and the closer to our ways of knowing and being that those providers are, the better it will be for our health outcomes.
