Mr. Speaker, throughout the night we have heard speeches. I do not think I have heard anybody speak about the First Nations Inuit people. The government is saying that it is the best government and the best manager. However, we recently saw the government cut 50% from the first nations national child benefit reinvestment initiative. This program deals with accessible and affordable daycare, which allows parents to hold down jobs, and we talk about jobs here, or even something as simple as a child nutrition program that helps send kids to school with a full belly. That is what the dollars are used for. This can help turn lives around and ensure our young first nations people of today can get back to work.
We did not hear the Conservatives talk about any investments with respect to policing on first nations, which is in dire need of funding, yet the government turns its back on first nations.
Could the member tell me how the government will turn that around? Will it ensure that it provides funding for policing and increase the first nations national child benefit reinvestment initiative?
