As a student deeply invested in social justice, I am writing this petition to highlight an issue that is close to my heart and should be of concern to all Canadians. It is about the exclusion of indigenous peoples from the Quebec conference.

The Quebec conference plays a significant role in shaping policies and decisions that affect all residents of our province. However, it has been observed that indigenous communities are often left out of these crucial discussions. This exclusion not only undermines their rights but also hampers our collective progress towards reconciliation and inclusivity.

According to Statistics Canada, there are over 1.6 million people who identify as Indigenous in Canada (Statistics Canada, 2016). These individuals represent diverse cultures, languages, and histories that enrich our national fabric. Their voices deserve to be heard at every level of decision-making - including at the Quebec conference.

By signing this petition, you are supporting a call for change - for an inclusive dialogue where every voice matters. You are advocating for a more equitable society where everyone's rights are respected and everyone's perspectives valued.

Let us urge the organizers of the Quebec conference to include representatives from indigenous communities in their future meetings. Let us stand together for justice, equality, and inclusivity.
