I obviously had not been invited to that meeting, since security escorted me to the exit. In any case, the main estimates do not provide for any additional funding, and the money announced in the 2012 budget is not enough to reach parity in the area of education between aboriginal children and other Canadian kids.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2940976\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Could you, once and for all, give us a deadline by which this funding gap will be closed, so that parity can finally be reached between first nations and Canadians?</p>",

Pourtant, les Budgets suppl\u00e9mentaires des d\u00e9penses ne mentionnent aucun financement additionnel, et les fonds annonc\u00e9s dans le budget de 2012 ne sont pas suffisants pour atteindre la parit\u00e9 en mati\u00e8re de scolarit\u00e9 entre les enfants autochtones et les autres enfants canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2940976\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pouvez-vous vous engager une fois pour toutes \u00e0 donner une date butoir pour mettre fin \u00e0 cet \u00e9cart de financement et enfin atteindre la parit\u00e9 entre Autochtones et Canadiens?</p>"
