I think one of the important pieces to remember is that there are documented reports showing the inequalities in these education areas on the books already. Not only have they been documented, they've moved to talking about what the harms are for children. It doesn't take a rocket scientist; you don't need a study to do that. If you don't give a child a fair opportunity....
Shannen Koostachin, the little girl who fought her entire life to try to get a school, said that if children don't receive a proper education they can't grow up to become someone important. They can't become the person of their dreams. There are recommendations on the books going back....
In my office I have a report. It's dated 1967. It was a report commissioned by Indian Affairs to document the inequalities, and to identify the reforms necessary to rehabilitate first nations education. Those reforms were never implemented. More recently, we have seen the education panel and I've certainly seen PowerPoints that were disclosed to us through the tribunal process identifying what those shortfalls are, at least $800 million for building new schools.
I think that where the block has always been and what the tribunal points to in its decision is doing it. You have the solutions. You just need to do it. These kids only get one childhood. They can't wait.
