Please watch my video as I speak in the House of Commons regarding my motion for a comprehensive study of Indigenous education and graduation rates from secondary schools. I call on the Government to support my Committee Motion. Please contact the Prime Minister and Indigenous Northern Affairs Committee Members and urge them to vote in favour of my motion.

My motion reads as follows;
“That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Committee undertake a comprehensive study of Indigenous education and graduation rates from secondary schools; that the scope of the study include, standards for high school graduation, standard curricula, standard qualifications for educators and statistics for national graduation rates from reserve schools in comparison to Indigenous students off-reserve and also to non-Indigenous students; that the witness list include responsible Indigenous Services department officials, band councils, band members, Statistics Canada officials, First Nation organizations responsible for delivering education services such as the First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC), and community groups; and that the Committee report its findings to the House within twelve months of the adoption of this motion.”
