Mr. Speaker, we hope the minister will actually follow through with his commitments, because there is a lack of trust that they will see those kinds of results.
This Conservative government promised a new relationship with aboriginal peoples, but it was all just empty words.
National aboriginal organizations are being warned that they will face more cuts, up to 40%, for next year's project funding. Organizations will now be pitted against each other, and they will be competing for the remaining dollars.
Is this the minister's vision of a new relationship, cutting funds to projects in health, housing and education?
