This week on APTN News InFocus, we break down the results of the April 28 federal election.
The Liberals remain in power and the Conservatives will form the official opposition. The Bloc Québécois lost seats and the NDP dropped to just seven—losing official party status in the process.
Twelve First Nations, Inuit and Métis candidates were elected across party lines. One of them is Mi’kmaw Liberal MP Jaime Battiste, now the most senior Indigenous member in the party. He speaks with APTN National News host Dennis Ward about what’s next.
We also take a closer look at what the NDP’s losses could mean for Indigenous issues in Parliament. Political scientist Paul Thomas joins us to talk about what’s at stake.
