Indigenous peoples, it’s time to bring your best ideas forward. It’s time to lead with your vision, and in partnership.
That was the Call to Action from Energy and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson in his speech June 25 to the Toronto Region Board of Trade.
He told the leaders and champions in Canada’s largest economic region that if the country is serious about retooling its economy in the face of tariff threats from United States President Donald Trump, economic reconciliation with Indigenous nations must be put front and centre.
“Indigenous peoples are not just participants in our economy. They are rights holders. They are the original stewards of the land…. They are builders,” he said.
