[Member spoke in Inuktitut, interpreted as follows:]
Mr. Speaker, indigenous peoples are still experiencing genocide. We are told this by the government, the investments made to Inuit, first nations and Métis.
The Government of Nunavut needs $250 million just to catch up to the urgent housing needs. To date, there is no response from the government. The Chiefs of Ontario have said they need $58.9 billion in operation and maintenance costs.
There are Métis nations seeking their right to self-government be recognized.
Indigenous peoples' rights must be respected. These investments are well below what is needed to address the needs.
I remind all indigenous peoples to stand up, to speak up and to show their strength.
