As I stated in my statement, just by assessing the incomes of people who live in small aboriginal communities in relation to larger centres, where the average income in the small community is $30,000 and in the larger centres it’s $90,000…. That alone tells you the economy in those communities is not there. I’d like to ask the Minister: exactly what is this government doing to stimulate the economies of those communities and not simply put the people on income support or welfare?
