Affirm Indigenous Rights in Canada

The Government has recently introduced two bills, C-37 and C-39, that threaten to erode hard-won progress to implement the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in Canada. Debate around these bills has included discussion about national interest in Canada, especially economic interest. Send an email urging your MP to call for significant amendments to Bills C-37 and C-39, so that they uphold Indigenous rights and access to clean water.
