I know we've been talking since the beginning to better understand the realities of northern communities and also making sure that we understand the needs of the communities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6187600\" data-originallang=\"en\">Since the beginning of this crisis, our government has made investments of $305 million for the distinctions-based indigenous community support fund to help address the immediate needs in first nations, Inuit and M\u00e9tis communities. Also, we've invested $75 million for indigenous organizations providing services to indigenous peoples living in urban centres and also off reserve, which support more community-based projects that address the critical needs of indigenous populations. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6187601\" data-originallang=\"en\">We've also provided programs like the wage subsidy where we believe that the opportunity will be taken to bring.... Because of the recent changes that our government business supports have made, indigenous-led businesses are now eligible for the 75% wage subsidy. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6187602\" data-originallang=\"en\">These are tools that will help to make sure the communities stay strong and that the businesses will be able to stand strong and continue after this part of the pandemic.
