Mr. Speaker, over the past two years, the Liberal government has been spending heavily on the department responsible for aboriginal affairs.
What good did that do? Aboriginal Canadians continue to endure the same problems: safe drinking water is not ensured, the residential school issue has yet to be settled, and the supply of housing remains clearly insufficient.
The Liberal government promised to act on these issues. Two years and billions of dollars later, nothing has changed.
Canadians are paying for these inefficient programs. They should know where this money is going. More importantly, aboriginal Canadians deserve better.
