For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.
This community is not managed by NDP staff.

Work Towards Truth and Justice for Indigenous Communities
We will work with Indigenous peoples to fully implement all 94 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Calls for Justice from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
We will provide long-term funding to search for grave sites at former residential schools. And we will work with nations and survivors to commemorate those children who never came home.
We will introduce legislation to combat residential school denialism—because truth is essential to reconciliation, and survivors deserve more than words. The House of Commons has unanimously recognized that the residential school system was a genocide, deliberately designed to erase Indigenous cultures, languages, families, and identities. Survivors and their families must be protected from hate and historical erasure.
We will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate crimes against Indigenous peoples through the residential school system. This special prosecutor would have a mandate to access necessary documents from religious institutions as well as government departments such as the Justice Department and Indigenous services.
We will support community-driven healing initiatives aimed at addressing the emotional, physical, spiritual and mental harm inflicted upon communities and children inside the residential school system.
We will expand the Red Dress Alert to ensure it covers the entire country. This important measure will ensure the public is notified when an Indigenous woman, girl, or gender-diverse person goes missing so they can be brought home safely.
We will ensure full gender equality for First Nations, including the right to pass on the ability to qualify for Indian status registration.
We will ensure equitable access and self-determination over land, culture, language, housing, child care, income security, employment, education, and physical, mental, sexual, and spiritual health.
