Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government promised to consult and promised to deal in good faith with first nations, but it has broken this promise.
The Conservatives launch mindless attacks on the NDP, because they have no defence for their mishandling of first nations education. They fail to respect the right of first nations students to a quality education.
Two years ago, the House unanimously passed a motion on Shannen's Dream. Why will the government not honour the principles of that motion? Why will it not give first nations students the same opportunities as every other Canadian student?
