🧡 On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we gathered to honour Survivors, remember the children who never returned home, and reflect on the continuing path toward reconciliation.

At the @TheDCED Critical Minerals (CM) session, it’s clear that CM are becoming the backbone of the global economy yet supply chains remain fragile, concentrated & politically contested.

The deepening 🇨🇦-🇰🇪 relationship is ready to thrive in a changing world order. My remarks ⬇️ – at Nairobi, Kenya
Prof. @AnyangNyongo this is great to hear. I once did this trip, from Entebbe to Elegu/Nimule border with a stopover in Gulu then later to West Nile and Goli/Mahagi. It was a once in a lifetime chance to reconnect with the land of my forefathers.
