  • Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fell short of committing to a national inquiry on systemic racism in policing this morning even as he acknowledged the pain of First Nations mothers who have had to bury their children following an interaction with police.

The article from MSN discusses the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) gathering in Ottawa, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, along with various ministers and opposition leaders, addressed the assembly. Key points include Trudeau's acknowledgment of the need for better collaboration with Indigenous communities, his commitment to advancing reconciliation, and addressing issues like housing, health care, and economic development. Opposition leaders, including Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, criticized the government's handling of Indigenous issues, particularly focusing on the lack of progress in infrastructure and economic opportunities. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh emphasized the importance of implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and addressing systemic issues like boil-water advisories. The gathering highlighted ongoing dialogues and the complex relationship between the Canadian government and First Nations, focusing on both achievements and areas needing improvement.
