Apart from an introductory meeting when this government took office in August 2020, the Amerindian Peoples Association (APA) has been unable to meet with the Minister of Amerindian Affairs to discuss a number of issues pertaining to Indigenous Peoples’ rights, policy and legislative reform, says Governance and Rights Coordinator, Laura George.

“Minister Pauline Sukhai is either too busy or is not available for one reason or another to meet with us in spite of several requests,” she said.
