Mr. Speaker, we covered quite a bit in that and I am sure I do not have time to cover it all.
One thing that pops to mind for race right off the bat is that a short time ago the department of Indian and northern affairs announced $350 million to address the abuse suffered by natives at the hands of aboriginal schools years ago. Even the aboriginal community was not consulted in that. I know the chief of the grand council is having a terrible time trying to sell it to his people. It is a day late and a dollar short in their estimation. Maybe he should have consulted with them a little more than he did.
The member talked about the millennium scholarship fund. In reality that fund addresses 6% to 7% of students in Canada. What do the other 93% or 94% of students do? Do they sit and wait? This does not kick in until the year 2000. Students in our universities are in a crisis now. They need some help today, not two years down the road. That is a little too late.
He talked about the caregiver tax credit of $400. Fantastic. My elderly inlaws are living with us and $400 do not even cover the cost of putting in a bathroom rail so they can get in and out of the tub. At an $11,500 income that tax credit disappears. It just does not go far enough.
