Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to our ministers and their team members for joining us today.

I'll start with you, Minister Vandal. You mentioned the need for high-quality education. For someone who has a background as a teacher, that certainly spoke right to my heart. It's something that I feel has been a bit lacking in our conversations around barriers to economic development.

I would love it if you could speak a little bit more about the aboriginal youth strategy that you were a part of, and maybe more broadly about the necessity of high-quality education for indigenous youth.

Thank you.
