Mr. Speaker, actually of the money that was announced in the last budget, virtually none of it went into classrooms. Even kids get this.
On Valentine's Day school children across Canada will take part in Have a Heart Day, demanding equal funding for on-reserve schools. On-reserve schools receive nearly one-third less per student in government funding than provincial schools.
Why will the minister not agree that the status quo must end now and equal funding must be provided for children on reserve?
