Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Jacobs, thank you very much for being here.
In order for an elderly woman to have financial and emotional security, she must have had a good job during her working life. However, in 2001, only 7% of Aboriginal women, aged 25 years and up, had a university degree.
Are there any special programs being offered in the communities in order to encourage your Aboriginal women to pursue a post-secondary education?
