Prime Minister Justin Trudeau highlights investments from the recent federal budget that are focused on investments for Indigenous communities in the areas of health care, housing, education and infrastructure. He is joined at the news conference in Saskatoon, Sask., by Northern Affairs Minister Dan Vandal, Women and Gender Equality Minister Marci Ien. Darlene Brander (CEO of Wanuskewin Heritage Park) and Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies representatives Riel Bellegarde (president) and Chief Darcy Bear (board chair) also make remarks.

The prime minister fields questions about concerns over capital gains tax changes proposed in the budget, and allegations of hate speech at a recent pro-Palestinian protest in Ottawa. He is also asked about Canada Post's refusal to collect banned firearms for the federal government's buyback program and the Saskatchewan government's opposition to the federal carbon price.  (April 23, 2024)

But today, with recognition of our title to Haida Gwaii — in provincial law — we take another step toward peaceful coexistence with British Columbia. Once this legislation is passed we can work toward implementing our vision for Haida Gwaii without conflict, based on yahguudang/yahgudáng respect,” Gaagwiis said. “For years, we’ve envisioned and worked towards re-establishing an economy that aligns with our values and traditions — one that sustains rather than exploits the land and sea. We can now take hold of that vision and create a future where the land and sea will nurture us for generations to come. B.C.’s leadership and commitment to making things right after over 150 years of denial is an honourable act.”
