Mr. Speaker, making post-secondary education more accessible is critical for improving the quality of life for all Canadians, including in the north and Arctic. That is why our government has invested over $47 million toward the Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning and a new science building at Yukon University, and toward transforming Aurora College into a polytechnic university. One of my priorities is to ensure northerners and indigenous peoples have greater access to post-secondary education in the north.
Can the Minister of Northern Affairs provide an update on how our government is working to close existing gaps?
