Second, we believe that we should increase the funding for indigenous education at the post-secondary level. The government has ensured that there is funding for K to 12, but has not for post-secondary. We must strengthen skills upgrading in indigenous communities, so we recommend that the government build on the great success of the northern adult basic education program delivered at the three territorial colleges.
Because of time, I will go to my third recommendation immediately. In fact, I will just conclude instead, and say that over the past few months, we've heard many voices, including those of the finance minister's advisory council on economic growth, highlighting the opportunities and challenges facing Canada. As Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary and as many colleges and institutes celebrate their 50th anniversaries, we believe that we are ready to step up to build a better, more prosperous, and more equitable Canada.
Merci beaucoup.
