The federal debate featured a segment on Indigenous issues Monday night in Gatineau, Que.
The segment mostly dealt with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, free, informed and prior consent and whether the government should have appealed a ruling from the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ordering Canada to compensate First Nations children and their families who are caught up in the child welfare system.
Mostly absent from the debate was any discussion about Canada’s Arctic, Inuit or Metis peoples.
