Mr. Speaker, indigenous peoples across this country know better than most the cost of inaction on climate change, the impacts of extreme weather events and the impacts, quite frankly, of Conservative underinvestment for years in the kinds of infrastructure and supports they needed. We turned that around. We started treating indigenous peoples and communities as partners. We are invested in fighting climate change and are putting more money back in the pockets of eight out of 10 Canadians with the Canada carbon rebate. We are continuing to make sure that protecting the environment and growing the economy for everyone go hand in hand. That is the path forward.
