Suggested Response:

• The Government of Canada is committed to confronting the legacy of colonialism and addressing ongoing systemic racism.

• The Government’s work in partnership with Indigenous peoples to advance self-determination and the recognition of rights is critical in doing so.

• We are rebuilding the Government’s relationship with Indigenous Peoples, moving to a renewed, nation-to-nation, government-to-government, and Inuit-Crown relationship based on recognition of rights, respect, co-operation, and partnership.

• We will continue to collaborate with Indigenous, federal, provincial/territorial partners to address anti-Indigenous racism across Canada.
