Thank you, Mr. Chair.

My question is for Ms. Isaak.

I used to be a teacher in Canada's Far North. I taught in Kuujjuaq, and I was a principal in Akulivik, in Hudson Bay and in Ungava Bay.

My question is this. What challenges do indigenous communities face in terms of access to post-secondary education and vocational training programs? Are there any innovative ways to overcome these obstacles?
