Madam Speaker, I would like to once again thank the member for Nunavut for her question. While territorial governments are responsible for the delivery of health care in the territories, we continue to work together to ensure Inuit have access to culturally safe supports and services. We have made additional investments in response to the confirmation of unmarked burials at the sites of former residential schools, and $107 million was announced in August 2021 to expand access to cultural and emotional mental wellness supports related to intergenerational trauma. This is on top of the $330 million provided through budget 2021 to renew access to trauma-informed supports and crisis line services. Budget 2022 renewed this investment, providing over $227.6 million over two years to maintain these supports and build upon the services funded through budget 2021. We continue to support indigenous partners and communities to meet their needs as well as their priorities.

The funding will also support social and economic opportunities for indigenous entrepreneurs. Building an improved, safe and accessible space that supports the delivery of high-quality culturally relevant—

Mr. Speaker, access to clean drinking water is fundamental. That is why budget 2022 will provide $173.2 million to support the transfer of services in 17 communities to the Atlantic First Nations Water Authority. Recently, Chief Ross Perley stated, “It gives us self-determination on drinking water”. We will continue to work with all communities to find and support indigenous-led solutions to strengthen water management on reserve.
