What is the Government doing for Aboriginal Canadians?
Budget 2010 provides $908 million over the next two years to assist Aboriginal Canadians and their communities. This includes: • $30 million to support an implementation-ready tripartite K-12 education agreement that will ensure First Nations students benefit from comparable education results whether the classroom is located on or off reserve. • $10 million to address the disturbingly high number of missing and murdered Aboriginal women through concrete actions in law enforcement and in the justice system. • $53 million to further progress on developing partnerships with First Nation organizations and provincial and territorial governments on the delivery of child and family services. • Almost $200 million to support implementation of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement and help former students, their families, and Aboriginal communities embark on the path of healing and reconciliation with the legacy of Indian Residential Schools by ensuring timely payments and health
