Mr. Chair, I thank my colleague for that very important question.
Last week, the Minister of Indigenous Services and I had a conversation with leaders from across the country and from first nations.
Our government recognizes that people in first nations, Inuit and Métis communities are among the most vulnerable Canadians. We have provided immediate support through the community support fund to address public health issues, which includes providing PPE, testing and health care personnel. That is just a first step. We know that further support is absolutely required.
