Mr. Speaker, a year ago the Prime Minister promised to close the funding gap for first nations schools. Today school funding is still one-third less for kids in first nation communities than for other young Canadians. I do not think any parent in this country would stand idly by if this injustice were happening to their kids.
If the Prime Minister is serious about remembering historic anniversaries, how about this one: the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which is 250 years old this year and gives recognition and promises justice to first nations.
When is the Prime Minister going to start treating the children of all of our nations equally?
