Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thanks very much. I appreciate the question. For the Province of Saskatchewan, we've said consistently that while there is no renewed funding to First Nations University, this partnership and certainly the agreement today are vitally important. We will invest in that partnership as long as conditions are met.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you very much, sir, for the question. While there is and will remain much work to do, we think the document, the MOU, provides a blueprint or a path forward for the institution. It's a four-year agreement that will see over the course of the first year, essentially, an independent entity helping to oversee the financial situation, then the University of Regina stepping in for the final three years, playing a greater role.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thanks very much for the opportunity to join you, sir, and your colleagues. Speaking on behalf of the Ministry of Advanced Education, Employment and Labour, and certainly on behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan, I appreciate this opportunity to appear before the standing committee to discuss First Nations University and, more broadly, issues pertaining to post-secondary educational endeavours for first nations and Métis students within the province of Saskatchewan.
