Mr. Speaker, what is clear is that indigenous people deserve better from the government. They deserve quality services, including health care.
The “First Peoples, Second Class Treatment” report, released yesterday by the Wellesley Institute, shows that we have a long way to go. According to the study, racism in the health care system is “pervasive” and a major factor in substandard health among indigenous people in our country.
Will the government show leadership on this issue to ensure that all Canadians get the care they deserve no matter their race?
