Article content The problem isn’t a lack of money, it’s that the money isn’t getting to the people it’s supposed to help. In her April budget, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said an “historic new investment” of $18 billion over the next five years to improve the lives of Indigenous Canadians, was proof of how much the Trudeau government values its relationship with them.
