Mr. Speaker, I can assure the member opposite that I have long been engaged on the issues of first nations education throughout this country.
More specifically, I can assure the member that the 32 first nations that I represent have been engaging with me as their member of Parliament over the last six years to ensure that we build a stronger and more vibrant education system within our community and throughout this country.
I will take no lessons from the member opposite. Of course, he is new to the House and may be unaware of the work that this government and I have undertaken. That is why it is important that he listen to the speeches today so that he might be able to learn about some of the advanced work that has been undertaken by this government in partnership with first nations communities across this country.
I am proud of the work that we have been doing and we will continue to do. I could speak all day on our accomplishments, even in my local communities.
