Canada Prime Minister Carney pledges billions to First Nations

Mark Carney First Nations Indian Act Assembly of First Nations Ottawa

Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced significant funding commitments for First Nations communities during a historic meeting in Ottawa. This gathering, the first of its kind in over two decades, included federal ministers, provincial premiers, and leaders from the Assembly of First Nations.

Carney pledged an additional $3.5 billion annually to support education for First Nations children living on reserves, ensuring curricula respect and embrace their cultures. Additionally, the Prime Minister committed more than $4.5 billion to improve access to safe drinking water for these communities. Further initiatives are expected to be detailed in the upcoming federal budget.

During the meeting, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew called on the federal government to abolish the Indian Act, stating that a relationship reflecting modern Canadian identity is long overdue. The discussions come amid efforts by the Carney government to expedite major project approvals, a move some Indigenous leaders argue may threaten existing rights.
