Mr. Speaker, our government believes that first nation students deserve access to the same quality education as all other Canadian students. We have invested over $10 billion to support elementary and secondary education for approximately 120,000 first nation students living on reserve and about $1.7 billion for 429 education infrastructure projects, including the construction of 36 new schools.
Additionally, economic action plan 2015 provides $200 million to improve first nation education, and that builds on our investment of $500 million over six years for first nation school infrastructure.
