Canada’s Drug Agency recognizes the traditional territories, rights, and diversity of all First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities across Canada. Indigenous Peoples have been, and continue to be, excluded from and harmed by Canada’s health care systems. In the spirit of reconciliation, we are committed to addressing these inequities alongside Indigenous communities.
