Thank you, Madam Chair.

Budget 2018 set aside $101.5 million over five years to support the capacity development of indigenous peoples. It was anticipated that the funding would be placed at their disposal to support activities that would pave the way to reconstructing their nations. Clearly, investing in capacity building is fundamental in speeding up self-determination.

Can you tell us what is happening with that promised funding and what kinds of measures it is supporting?
