Mr. Speaker, our government remains committed to a fair and lasting resolution to the legacy of Indian residential schools.
As acknowledged by the Prime Minister's historic apology on behalf of all Canadians in 2008, there is no place in Canada for the attitudes that inspired Indian residential schools to ever prevail again.
We continue to make significant investments in aboriginal education. Our recent budget committed substantial funding for education on reserve, and builds upon an investment of $500 million that was announced last year by the Prime Minister for first nations education infrastructure.
We will continue to work with first nations, parents, teachers, schools and leaders to improve the quality of first nations education on reserve.
