I promise to finally get to her communities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2694282\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have been reviewing, in our aboriginal affairs committee, discussions about economic opportunities for first nations people. We just heard this week from Regional Chief Toulouse from Ontario expressing concern about the failure to deliver on treaty rights and entitlements and the inability to actually benefit from resource development, which would help them to have the resources to educate their children. Would the member like to speak to that?</p>",

Nous avons entendu cette semaine le chef r\u00e9gional Toulouse de l\u2019Ontario d\u00e9plorer le non-respect des droits conf\u00e9r\u00e9s par trait\u00e9 et l\u2019impossibilit\u00e9 pour les Premi\u00e8res nations de profiter de l\u2019exploitation des ressources naturelles. Si elles le pouvaient, elles auraient les ressources n\u00e9cessaires pour scolariser leurs enfants. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e aimerait-elle nous en parler?</p>"
