Mr. Speaker, our government has taken action on many fronts to improve the lives of aboriginal people.
I would just mention that in the most recent budget we put in place funding for training first nations people for available jobs, and new opportunities for economic development through the first nations land management regime. Vast amounts of money are being made available for further progress and reform on first nations education, including more post-secondary scholarships and opportunities. There are also some health investments, particularly in mental health, on reserves. These are concrete things.
I would encourage the NDP, rather than opposing them all, to actually support some of these initiatives.
