Human Resources committee  We can get the graduation rate for indigenous students.

Human Resources committee  I will just have to see if I can find it.

Human Resources committee  For the PSSSP, the post-secondary student support program, we believe it supports around 23,000 students. The program is delivered by the communities, and we don't have perfect data. It's too imperfect to know exactly how many students it supports, but our information tells us it

Human Resources committee  For PSPP, the post-secondary partnerships program, the annual amount is $15 million.

Human Resources committee  That's very hard for us to estimate, because we don't know how many students would be, I'll say, rejected, or not able to access it. We have very anecdotal information. We don't have a solid piece of data around how many students are not accessing it. We know there is a backlog.

Human Resources committee  It isn't being compiled in one place. The Assembly of First Nations has done some work in the past, from which they have said it's around 10,000 students, but I suspect it's probably higher.

Human Resources committee  We do need more data, absolutely. It's something that should be tracked. It's a very dispersed program, and it's difficult to know who has asked and has not received, because it's difficult to collect that.

Human Resources committee  I will say that we are working very closely with the ESDC to make sure that we don't create perverse disincentives, that students can access post-secondary student support as well as a Canada student loan or grant. Right now the programs don't work seamlessly together, but we are

Human Resources committee  That's a good question. The program is offered by urban communities. I imagine that there are innovative programs in Canada being offered by the communities. However, I don't have any specific examples of programs like that. There are a few communities that are very successful w

Human Resources committee  We have had great success with this program. This year, the first nations and Inuit employment strategy will reach close to 10,000 youth. This program, which funds investments for training first nations and Inuit youth, is very successful. This year, additional investments in th

Human Resources committee  There hasn't been a decision made specifically on that program.

Human Resources committee  We are working on increasing our investment through our partnership with ESDC as well around what's happening with the increases to the Canada student loan and grant program. We're working in partnership to try to find the best tools to increase the amount of support available fo

Human Resources committee  Good morning, Mr. Chairman and members of the committee. I would like to thank the committee for the invitation to appear today. I would also like to acknowledge that we are gathered on traditional Algonquin territory this morning. As budget 2016 rightly noted, indigenous peop

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We will address what the tribunal orders us. We will look at the order at that time and address it at that time.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  In the past we reallocated money, that's right. Now the hope is that we will not have to reallocate money from other programs. We will deal with the tribunal order in the future should they order something different.
