Madam Speaker, the Prime Minister has said repeatedly that there remains no more important relationship than that with the indigenous people.
In his 2019, mandate letter to the procurement minister, he instructed her to secure 5% of all federal contracts with indigenous-owned companies. She failed. As a result, that mandate letter was scrapped and a new one was granted. It is as if it was inconvenient and therefore whitewashed.
My question is very simple. When will the government stop making false promises, misleading Canadians and actually follow through?
