That's quite helpful. Thank you, Mr. Matthews.

Aboriginal Affairs...$133.4 million mostly in first nations education. You may or may not know this, but the Pontiac has two first nations, Kitigan Zibi and Barriere Lake. Barriere Lake hasn't had a school built since 1985. They send most of their students off reserve to Maniwaki to be educated.

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say there's a crisis in first nations education, so why choose to do this?
