Rickford Support NDP Motion on Aboriginal Education

Kenora M.P. Greg Rickford says he has no problem supporting an NDP motion calling on the federal government to increase funding for aboriginal education.

The motion calls on the government to put first nation schools on an equal footing as provincial schools.

Rickford suggests the Harper government has been working in that direction already.

Rickford says the government is also committed to working with the Assembly of First Nations on implementing the recommendations contained its report on aboriginal education.
