Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Jacobs, I attended a little luncheon last week hosted by the Aboriginal Healing Foundation, and it was explained to us there that several of these 145 projects that are now under way will come to a halt because of a lack of funding. The funding for these projects will go from 300 million to 125 million dollars.
It has been said that women have a head start on men in the area of education. Will the cuts we discussed earlier and those made to the Aboriginal Healing Foundation's projects threaten the advancement that women have accomplished over the past few years?
What can we, as members of Parliament, do in order to help move you towards greater autonomy?
