Employment Minister Apologizes for Confusion Over Indigenous Heritage

Randy Boissonnault clarifies past statements and addresses allegations of misrepresented family history.

Randy Boissonnault, Canada's Employment Minister, has apologized for unclear statements regarding his family's Indigenous heritage.
Boissonnault claimed he was learning about his family's history in real-time and never personally identified as Indigenous.
Controversy arose after his former company, Global Health Imports, labeled itself as Indigenous-owned in federal contract bids.
The Liberal Party previously identified Boissonnault as Indigenous, which he corrected upon learning of the mistake.
Conservative leaders are calling for further investigation into Boissonnault's business dealings and potential conflicts of interest.
