Thank you, Chair.
Thanks to our witnesses for being here today.
My first question is for Noel Joe and the Assembly of First Nations.
Noel, as you probably know, our government recently introduced and announced the first nations control of first nations education act. This will provide young first nations people with access to education systems on reserve that are comparable to those that are available in provincial and territorial school systems. Do you agree that the government's $1.9-billion investment in first nations education will have a significant impact on employment opportunities for young aboriginal Canadians?
