Thank you to Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau for coming today to formally apologize and exonerate Chief Poundmaker, just steps away from his final resting spot. Chief Poundmaker was a diplomat, peace broker, and a hero for many First Nations people in Treaty 6.

Many thanks to @MonteMcNaughton for his attention to our need for natural gas on Scugog Island - we’ve worked long and hard to make this achievement a reality. #onpoli

[Monte McNaughton @MonteMcNaughton]

Great news for Scugog Island! Access to natural gas makes like more affordable for families and businesses, and provides much needed support for rural, northern, and First Nations communities. #ONpoli #InfrastructureForThePeople @MSIFN @LaRoccaKelly

I had the pleasure of working with the honourable @puglaas when she was justice minister, on a very difficult file. She was and is - always - strategic, smart, effective and dedicated. As an Indigenous chief, and a lawyer as well, I have nothing but admiration for her. #cdnpoli
