I believe that our youth are going to be an incredibly important part of the rebuilding after COVID-19 here in Canada. They're the future. Whenever I look into their eyes, that's what I see. I see their potential. I see their willingness to think outside the box. That's what needs to be nurtured from a very young age. That starts with the child in the womb, right through to kindergarten and through to grade 12. They have to have good role models.
Schooling is critically important, not just learning who we are, but also learning the maths and sciences so that we can prepare first nations for a trip to Mars one day. It's these kinds of innovations that our future will be able to offer to this country and to us. I believe wholeheartedly in our future generations through our youth.
We need the institutional support, the fiscal wherewithal to be able to make the changes within our communities, without dependence on the federal and provincial governments, because that has hampered our development.
