History made on Haida Gwaii.
For the first time, Canada has recognized Aboriginal title through negotiation—not litigation. The Chiix̲uujin / Chaaw K̲aawgaa “Big Tide (Low Water)” Haida Title Lands Agreement marks a new era of partnership, respect, and self-determination.

Huge news: the world’s largest Indigenous-led land conservation agreement has been reached in the Northwest Territories. With 22 Indigenous governments, we are protecting lands the size of four Nova Scotia’s and creating hundreds of jobs!

I sat down with women who are working to put an end to the national crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. I heard their pain and saw their drive for a better future. Govt funding has to align with community-based supports—from victim services to prevention.

.@Musqueam is a leader in self-governance—a key part of building our nation-to-nation relationship. They’ve put in the hard work, over generations, and now they’re pushing us. I’m committed to reaching agreement so we can keep moving forward and building a brighter future.

Bill C-21 just passed the House of Commons!
This is the most significant gun control legislation in Canada in a generation.
Next up: the Senate.

There is no single solution to gun violence. Let’s build safer communities by:
👉 Banning assault-style firearms, which 87% of Canadians support.
👉 Seizing over 1,000 guns at the border, last year alone.
👉 Investing hundreds of millions in law enforcement and prevention
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There is no legal definition of ‘assault rifles in Canada’. Fully automatic firearms, which have generally been considered ‘military grade’ have been banned since the 1970s

You’ve heard me talk a lot about my consultations with Canadians on how to protect communities from gun violence.
Today, I want to tell you about some of the hunters, gun control advocates, Indigenous communities and others that I’ve had the opportunity to meet with.👇

Ahead of Vaisakhi later this week, I was honored to be greeted at the Ross Street Gudwara in Vancouver by @sukhdhaliwal and leaders from the community. During this Sikh Heritage Month, we acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of Sikh Canadians and the many more to come.
