Mr. Speaker, during the election campaign, the Liberal Party promised to invest $2.6 billion in new money for first nations education. That investment took into account funding already earmarked by the previous Conservative government.
However, now we are learning that the cupboards are bare, and the $1.25 billion promised by the Conservatives was just virtual money.
Will the government commit to reinvesting to make up for this shortfall in order to really help first nations' youth?
