Hello, everyone.

I am delighted to have returned to the magnificent Gaspé region today.

I would like to start by thanking Minister Lebouthillier for welcoming us and Minister Champagne for also joining us.

Diane, François-Philippe, thank you for all that you do.

I know how enthusiastic you are about today’s announcement and how hard you work for our regions and for all Canadians.

Hello, everyone.

I want to begin by addressing the news that more unmarked graves have been found near a former residential school in B.C.

My heart breaks for the Penelakut Tribe, and for all Indigenous communities across Canada.

I recognize these findings only deepen the pain that families, survivors, and all Indigenous peoples and communities are already feeling, and that they reaffirm a truth that they have long known.

To members of the Penelakut Tribe: we are here for you.

Thank you, Catherine, for that introduction and for all of your tireless work for communities across the country.

First, I would like to acknowledge that we’re on the shared, unceded traditional territory of the Katzie, Semiahmoo, Kwantlen, and other Coast Salish Peoples.

It’s great to be here in Surrey with Premier Horgan.

John, today we get to announce good news for British Columbians for a second day in a row.

Hello, everyone.

First, I want to acknowledge that we are on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Kwikwetlem First Nation.

We thank the Kwikwetlem who continue to live on these lands and care for them, along with the waters and all that is above and below.

Hello, everyone!

It’s great to be back in Calgary, especially alongside Mayor Nenshi.

My friend, it’s always so good to see you.

Congratulations on everything you’ve accomplished over the past decade. These past years, it’s been good to work with you and it’s always a pleasure to continue to do good things for the people of Calgary and Alberta by your side.

Let me begin by recognizing that we are on the traditional land of the Algonquin People.

Good morning everyone, it’s great to be here at Lansdowne Park today. Normally, folks might be here to see the Redblacks play, or to shop at the farmer’s market on Sunday morning. But right now, there’s another great reason for people to come by – and that’s to get their vaccine.

Thank you Deirdre for that introduction, and for everything you do for the community as President and CEO of Shepherds of Good Hope. I’m looking forward to visiting the new units that are being built here in Kanata that will allow you to help even more vulnerable people.

Hello, everyone. Thank you all for being part of such an important global forum.  A few weeks ago, I met Aminah, a mom who started her own farm and local business in Canada. Aminah’s proud of what she’s accomplished, and rightly so. But from finding good child care to working in an industry dominated by men, she told me it hasn’t been easy.

I want to begin by addressing the news that hundreds of unmarked graves have been found near the former residential school in Cowessess First Nation.
