Mr. Speaker, the NDP will continue to vote against budgets that do not get the job done.
The workfare program for first nations people is not only insultingly paternalistic, it is a waste of taxpayer money. The government would spend more money enforcing compliance than on the actual training. This sounds like more bureaucrats in Ottawa, not more jobs on reserves.
When will the minister start providing first nations with the education that they need and the respect that they deserve?
