Mr. Speaker, as my colleague well knows, we are unequivocally committed to working in partnership with first nations, Inuit and Métis communities to advance self-determination, reconciliation and economic opportunity. We have indeed tripled investments in indigenous communities since 2015, with $32 billion in investments expected in 2024-25 alone. Budget 2024 includes over $1 billion to improve access to proper health care for indigenous people, $338 million to support indigenous entrepreneurship and a monumental investment of $5 billion for the indigenous loan support program. There is lots more to do.
