Mr. Speaker, clearly, education is a priority for first nations chiefs and it is also our priority.
It is clear that last year we committed $268 million over five years, and another $75 million in subsequent years, for two new programs that will help with education, the education partnership program and the first nation student success program.
We have also added since 2006 some $630 million for 87 school projects, and in the economic action plan another $200 million that will build 10 new schools, and under the building Canada plan money to build another 8 new schools.
There is lots of work to do, but we are working closely with the Assembly of First Nations and other leaders to get this job done.
