Good morning, Mr. Chair.
We'd like to thank the Standing Committee on Finance for hearing our presentations today.
The Canadian Federation of Students represents nearly half a million students across Canada, including over 42,000 students here in Manitoba.
Today, due to limited time, we would like to touch on two key issues affecting students in Manitoba: the funding and access of aboriginal students. More specifically, we would like to touch on dedicated federal funding transfers to provinces and changes to the post-secondary student support program of the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs.
