NDP leader Jagmeet Singh was making climate change promises.
That includes making sure Indigenous people have a voice in the process.
“While Indigenous communities face the hardship of climate change on the ground, their voices are completely ignored. We would ensure that Indigenous communities have a seat at the table as equal partners in the fight against the climate crisis,” says Singh.
