How Senator PJ Prosper Is Advancing Indigenous Policy and Investment Through Community Engagement

Author: Canadian Indigenous Investment Summit May 29, 2025 Duration: 40:40

Senator PJ Prosper, a Mi’kmaw Senator representing Nova Scotia, shares insights from his first 100 days in Parliament and his national listening tour across Mi’kma’ki. Guided by his ReconciliACTION Report, Senator Prosper outlines seven clear priorities that align with Canada’s economic and housing goals while centring Indigenous voices in national policy. This was the outcome of his recent Listening Tour, where he met with over 1,700 individuals across Mi’kmaw territory known as Mi’kma’ki. This vast region stretches from Newfoundland to the Gaspé region of Québec, encompassing all of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, as well as parts of New Brunswick and Québec. For global investors, including asset managers, corporates, and sovereign wealth funds, this conversation provides valuable insights into how capital can be aligned with Indigenous-led priorities in Canada. As Indigenous Nations play an increasingly strategic role in economic development, understanding these dynamics is key to building responsible, long-term partnerships in one of the world’s most stable and resource-rich markets.
