Systemic racism exists in Canada. It exists in our institutions and in our systems - including our health care system. And we need to eliminate it. Grand Chief Awashish, Chief Ottawa, Chief Néashit, and I spoke about that this morning, and about how we can do this work together.
It is with a heavy heart that I can confirm two Canadians lost their lives in last week’s tragic explosion in Lebanon. To their families and friends, know that we are here for you - we are mourning with you and we are keeping you in our thoughts. https://t.co/PjdBeO2lIC

To help the people of Lebanon right now, and to make sure they have what they need in the longer term, Canada will provide another $25 million in humanitarian assistance. We will also continue to match your donations, now up to a maximum of $5 million. https://t.co/L1F8Uj0nEd
