I am not particularly familiar with that specific program. I am very supportive of anything that will make life better for aboriginal members of Canada's society.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1245802\" data-originallang=\"en\">Edmonton Centre has a very large aboriginal population and they have some tremendous disadvantages of which we are all well aware. We are all trying our best to work on resolving these issues. We can have different ideas about the road we are on, but we are all focused on the same destination.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1245803\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am quite happy to promise my personal support for anything that works, for anything that will make life better for that segment of Canadians, because that will ultimately make life better for all of us.</p>",

Je ne connais pas particuli\u00e8rement bien le dossier en question. J'appuie enti\u00e8rement tout ce qui am\u00e9liorera la vie des peuples autochtones du Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1245802\" data-originallang=\"en\">La circonscription d'Edmonton-Centre compte un tr\u00e8s grand nombre d'autochtones et ils sont tr\u00e8s d\u00e9favoris\u00e9s, comme nous le savons tous. Chacun de nous fait son possible pour trouver des solutions \u00e0 ces probl\u00e8mes. Nous pouvons ne pas \u00eatre d'accord sur le chemin \u00e0 prendre, mais nous voulons tous arriver au m\u00eame but. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1245803\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis tr\u00e8s heureux de promettre d'appuyer tout ce qui peut fonctionner, tout ce qui peut am\u00e9liorer la vie de ce segment de la population canadienne, car en bout de ligne, cela am\u00e9liorera notre vie \u00e0 tous. </p>"
