Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning to all our witnesses. I am pleased to be here in Winnipeg.
My first question is for Mr. Barnard from the University of Manitoba.
In one of your recommendations, you call on the federal government to invest in university programs and services which support aboriginal students. Would it not be preferable to increase funding for primary and secondary education for aboriginals? With better primary and secondary education, more of them will want to attend university. Is this not like putting the cart before the horse?
