Thank you, Chair.
Minister Hajdu, I proudly represent the riding of Brantford—Brant. I also represent the first nations community of Six Nations of the Grand River.
I'm sure the minister remembers that I have written to her on numerous occasions regarding the federal funding needed for the Gaweni:yo immersion school on Six Nations of the Grand River territory. Despite my previous correspondence and numerous follow-ups over the past three years, my office has not received any updates regarding the status of this necessary funding. The initial request for funding was literally eight and a half years ago. This delay has led to a significant increase in project costs, which has created challenges for the school's operations.
Last month, at this very committee, I raised the issue and a member of your department indicated that they would follow up.
Can you tell us today when we can expect to receive the urgently needed funding?
