If the past has taught us anything, it\u2019s that Ottawa doesn\u2019t always know what\u2019s best when it comes to policies that impact Indigenous Peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s residential schools, First Nations Child and Family Services, health, housing or economic development, paternalism doesn\u2019t work. Initiatives that involve partnerships with Indigenous peoples on a Nation-to-Nation basis have the greatest chance of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Government of Canada prepares to announce the 2023 budget, First Nation peoples are hopeful that there will be new funds allocated to build the infrastructure that\u2019s required to improve living conditions in their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But will it be enough to eliminate the boil water advisories and build the housing, education centres, roads, health facilities and other infrastructure to lift Indigenous Peoples out of poverty?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is almost certainly no, because the reality is that the infrastructure gap between First Nations and the rest of Canada continues to expand with each passing year despite Canada\u2019s good intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trudeau government has pledged to close the gap by 2030 as outlined in the prime minister\u2019s December, 2021 mandate letter to Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu. However, a new report prepared jointly by the Assembly of First Nations and Indigenous Services Canada and referenced at a recent AFN panel discussion puts the infrastructure gap at a staggering $349.2 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The disparity, according to the report, is due to \u201cdecades of underfunding, failed fiduciary duties, and unfair distribution of Canada\u2019s wealth as a country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
