Mr. Speaker, we know that keeping first nations children connected to their families, cultures and communities is essential to their well-being and to the strength of future generations. That is why supporting first nations leadership in child and family services is so important.
On October 7, our government signed a historic agreement with the Saskatoon Tribal Council that recognizes the importance of first nations leadership in child and family services and supports communities in determining what is best for their children.
Can the Minister of Indigenous Services share how this new government has stepped up to the plate to help indigenous children get connected to their family, cultures and languages while supporting first nations in exercising their inherent jurisdiction over the care and well-being of their children?
