Mr. Speaker, why is the government riding roughshod over first nations when it comes to education?
Recently, first nations learned that INAC was considering five options for post-secondary student support funding, including removing all first nations control over funding and putting it under direct government control. Worse still, first nations did not hear it from the minister but from the website of the U.S. company commissioned to write the recommendations.
Will the minister tell us which option he is considering and how first nations have been consulted?
