PM Trudeau Talks about Budget 2024 and Investment for Indigenous Communities

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau highlights investments from the recent federal budget that are focused on investments for Indigenous communities in the areas of health care, housing, education and infrastructure. He is joined at the news conference in Saskatoon, Sask., by Northern Affairs Minister Dan Vandal, Women and Gender Equality Minister Marci Ien. Darlene Brander (CEO of Wanuskewin Heritage Park) and Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies representatives Riel Bellegarde (president) and Chief Darcy Bear (board chair) also make remarks. The prime minister fields questions about concerns over capital gains tax changes proposed in the budget, and allegations of hate speech at a recent pro-Palestinian protest in Ottawa. He is also asked about Canada Post's refusal to collect banned firearms for the federal government's buyback program and the Saskatchewan government's opposition to the federal carbon price.  (April 23, 2024)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.
