Question Period Note: Accomplishments: Indigenous Services Canada

We are delivering on a renewed relationship with Indigenous peoples, where we are working together to improve quality of life and advance self-determination.
We have made significant new investments of $21 billion through four budgets, which have resulted in:
• 62 schools built or renovated;
• 208 water and wastewater infrastructure projects completed;
• Over 478,000 requests for products, services, and supports approved under Jordan’s Principle.
We know we have a long way to go and we will continue to work in partnership with Indigenous peoples towards closing the unacceptable socio-economic gaps that exist today.

Youth

Every Indigenous child deserves the best start in life.
This is why we are advancing:
• A new funding formula for K-12 education, which has resulted in regional funding increases of almost 40%;
• The number of First Nation schools offering elementary full-day kindergarten programs has increased from 30% to 59%;
• Almost doubling funding for First Nations child and family services to approximately $1.2 billion in 2018 19 with a focus on prevention.
We will not leave another generation of Indigenous children behind.
