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.

Closing the infrastructure gap in Indigenous communities
We will end all long-term boil water advisories on First Nations. The Liberals promised this would be done by 2021, but too many communities are still waiting. To do this we will make new investments in clean water infrastructure and support Indigenous-led water management training programs. We will also fund on-reserve emergency management and prevention, including firefighting.
We will partner with all levels of government to provide sustainable, long-term funding to address the housing crisis. This includes supporting Nunavut’s request to build 3000 homes in the territory by 2030. And we will take a for-Indigenous by-Indigenous approach to housing, significantly boosting the federal government’s commitment to Indigenous housing with billions of dollars in new investments.
We will step up to close the health gap in Indigenous communities and bring health care closer to home. Indigenous people have an equal right to the highest standard of physical and mental health, with a right to access traditional medicines. New investments in healthcare infrastructure, medical supplies and diagnostic equipment will help meet people’s needs in their communities.
We will work in partnership with communities to improve access to mental health and addiction treatment, including investing in Indigenous healing centres and healers, and launch a new action-plan to prevent suicide.
We will ensure that Indigenous led, culturally appropriate home care and long-term care is available for Elders, in their home communities and languages.
