In order to achieve TB elimination in Canada, any plan must address the significant disparities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians with respect to social determinants of health that are well known drivers of TB. Along with sustained programmatic and research investments, elimination will require tremendous leadership and participation from Indigenous Peoples and governments at all levels to work together to ensure equitable care that not only recognizes the continued effects of colonization but actively promotes decolonization and strives to eliminate all forms of racism and privilege in order to achieve health equity for all Canadians on the path to reconciliation.
