Suggested Response:

• The spirit and intent of the Indigenous Peoples Space has always been that it must remain First Nations, Inuit and Métis led.

• We have been working in the true spirit of reconciliation – all decisions around the space are taken as a group between partners, and we look forward to continuing this work together.

• Prior to COVID-19, we were working on the short-term use plan of the Indigenous Peoples’ Space while the longer-term design is completed.

• Our commitment remains while our current focus is ensuring Indigenous communities are prepared for the pandemic.
