Mr. Speaker, the process of reconciliation must move forward in our country, and the federal government must absolutely fulfill its obligation. In my riding, a number of first nations are talking about the need for concrete measures on the ground. For them, reconciliation means putting an end to the third-world conditions that exist in their communities. Some clear examples include the housing crisis, the lack of infrastructure, particularly in the context of the climate crisis, and the lack of clean drinking water. Does the member agree that reconciliation with first peoples also means improving the daily living conditions in first nations communities?
