Federal Election 2025: Our Open Letter to Federal Party Leaders

Here at One Bowl Housing Corporation, we are committed to building a more resilient Canada—starting with Indigenous-led solutions in housing, resource development, and job creation.

In a letter shared today with all federal political party leaders, we are calling for immediate action to unlock Indigenous economic potential and ensure long-term prosperity for all Canadians. As voters prepare to elect the 45th Parliament, this is a critical moment for cross-party leadership.

Our Recommendations Focus on Three Key Priorities

• Ensuring Indigenous access to major infrastructure and resource projects to strengthen local and national economies

• Creating long-term, stable funding models through a dedicated Indigenous Housing and Workforce Development Fund

• Introducing tax incentives and financing tools to help Indigenous businesses scale and attract private investment

  
  

We believe Indigenous economic empowerment is central to securing Canada’s future. These are not just ideas—they’re proven, shovel-ready solutions rooted in community leadership.

We’re ready to work with leaders across all parties to advance these priorities and build a stronger, more inclusive economy.

Let’s move forward—together.
