New CIRNA Minister Gary Anandasangaree is no stranger to the #FirstNations file, having sat on the Indigenous & Northern Affairs Committee for six years.
He knows the government's #reconciliation agenda & is well regarded by many #Indigenous leaders already.

Minister Marc Miller ᐅᑭᒫᐃᐧᐅᓃᐸᐄᐧᐤᐃᔨᐣ was incredibly respected by #FirstNations at Crown- #Indigenous Relations, a Ministry where respect & relationships are hard won.
I'm surprised to see him moved.

Thanks Chief Lori Whitecalf for the invitation to Treaty Day at Sweetgrass First Nation. Have had the opportunity to work on a few Highways items with Chief Lorie.
Great days ahead of us here in SK…looking forward to continue working with our First Nations and Métis neighbours and friends.
The FSIN Chiefs-in-Assembly just passed a resolution to declare a state of emergency on the opioid crisis in Saskatchewan #FirstNations communities, called on federal & provincial govts to act.

Support for an #Indigenous Housing Strategy, which was in #Budget2023 , gets 66% (!!!) support from Canadians.
Choosing to see moments like this as progress for those working to educate Canadians on #reconciliation - it is bearing fruit.

Something missed in #Budget23 coverage was investments in economic #reconciliation .
#Indigenous peoples have been subject to poverty-on-purpose policies for hundreds of years.
Here’s a few thoughts alongside very smart people:

Waiting to hear from National #Indigenous Organizations on their reactions to #Budget23 .
At first glance, this budgets represents a 55.5% decrease compared to Budget 2022 in new funding for #Indigenous communities over the same 6 year period.
#Cdnpoli #Skpoli
The message from National #Indigenous Organizations is clear: Even in a time of fiscal restraint, government must invest dollars to bring our communities to parity with Canadians.
