This is a joint news release between the Government of Yukon, the Government of Northwest Territories and the Government of Nunavut.

The attached is being distributed on behalf of the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation and the Government of the Northwest Territories

Following its tabling in the Legislative Assembly by Premier R.J. Simpson, the Government of the Northwest Territories has released a collaboratively developed Action Plan that sets out the first steps to align laws, policies, and practices in the Northwest Territories with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, as set out in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Implementation Act.

Check against delivery.

Mr. Speaker, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples establishes the minimum standard for the survival, dignity, and well-being of Indigenous peoples worldwide. First voted on by the UN General Assembly in 2007, this vital human rights instrument affirms the rights of Indigenous peoples to self-determination and authority to manage their own affairs, whether this is in the education system, healthcare, or justice. Its implementation in Canada has been a long time coming.

Today, Minister Lucy Kuptana issued the following statement for Pride Month:

“June is Pride Month, which is an opportunity to honour our vibrant 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities. This is a time to celebrate the diversity, resilience, and lived experiences of Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, and asexual plus people across our territory.
