— The importance of next month’s G7 summit in Quebec can’t be underestimated, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday as he defended the event’s hefty price tag. “People understand there will be security measures in place, but there is also a real sense of pride here. Sioui met Trudeau earlier on Thursday along with other Quebec leaders involved in the G7 summit. The grand chief added he wants the summit to be an opportunity for the world to see a different side of Canada’s First Nations communities. Sioui said the G7 should serve as a platform to build relationships for trade with other nations.
