Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, I don't have any good news to report on that basis. The Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development has not changed the criteria for that program. In fact, I have discovered at my meetings in Ottawa last week that the aboriginal funding for early learning and childcare is only available to First Nations people and is not available to Metis or Inuit people as well. So the federal government is continuing with its policy of treating aboriginal people differently.
