Karen Hogan says that 'in the true spirit of reconciliation,' Ottawa cannot say it is waiting for First Nations to present their needs and should instead be actively reviewing the 'concrete actions' it can take.
Ottawa should,"in the true spirit of reconciliation," review which First Nations need help the most instead of waiting for those communities to ask for assistance, Karen Hogan told a House of Commons committee studying her latest report on the federal government's performance helping Indigenous communities prepare for natural disasters.
Her recent report says the government has yet to identify which of the hundreds of First Nations across the country are the least equipped to handle natural disasters. The report notes the same issue was flagged in 2013, but the government has not moved to correct it. She said many Indigenous communities have experienced recurring natural disasters, adding:"I'm sure that they feel at times let down."
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made advancing reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples as major priority for his Liberal government since he came to power in 2015.
