Mr. Speaker, we are focusing our funding on projects that generate tangible results while respecting taxpayer dollars.
The objective is to ensure that funding is directed at priorities, such as initiatives that contribute to economic development and education, and to also eliminate the duplication of projects.
Resources will be focused on projects that result in concrete and positive impacts on the aboriginal people, as they are intended. For example, in our last budget we indicated a four-year investment of $241 million to help first nations youth ensure they got the skills they need to get a job.
