The Liberal Prime Minister laid out what was likely the most ambitious First Nations agenda ever heard.
GATINEAU, QUE.—Put simply, Justin Trudeau stood in a posh hotel ballroom on traditional Algonquin territory Tuesday and rolled out the most comprehensive and ambitious First Nations agenda ever proposed by a federal government.
