As part of Secret Path Week, I recognized the work done by the Downie Wenjack Fund, and called on my colleagues and all Canadians to further the conversation about the history of Residential Schools.

I recently visited Joe Bailey from North Star Adventures in Yellowknife to mark the start of Small Business Week! Like many small businesses across the NWT, th...ey have demonstrated incredible resilience through COVID-19. We know times are still tough and our government will continue to be there to help them through this crisis. I encourage everyone to support our #ResilientSmallBiz and #BuyLocal, this week and every week!

During today's Question Period I asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Indigenous Services Pam Damoff to update the House on how our government is supporting In...digenous peoples in urban and off-reserve communities through COVID-19. By working with organizations like Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation, the Government of Canada is assisting First Nations, Inuit, and Metis here in the NWT and from coast to coast to coast.

Had a great time today visiting the students, faculty and staff at Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning's land-based site!
