Chair, Aboriginal Labour Force Development Circle

I'll actually finish with words from a report by the royal commission from 1996, as quoted by the Prime Minister:

As the youngest and fastest growing segment of the nation’s population, our Government recognizes that Canada’s Aboriginal communities are a critical part of our future. It is therefore in our collective interest to help ensure that Aboriginal youth receive the education and skills training they need to secure good jobs and prosper.

This statement was read by Prime Minister Stephen Harper at the signing of the royal proclamation, October 7, 2013.

I want to thank you all for hosting us.
