Mr. Speaker, we know that skills development and learning are crucial to an individual's success and to Canada's labour market and economy as a whole.
The government has made skills and learning a priority and Canada's labour market performance shows the positive results of this approach.
However, aboriginal people, especially in remote and northern regions, do not have the same opportunities for skills development or employment as other Canadians.
Will the Minister of Human Resources Development tell the House what the government is doing to help aboriginal Canadians develop the skills they need for the workforce and to participate in economic opportunities?
