“The indigenous languages commissioner spent $10 million on a four-day conference. That money could have helped indigenous students learn their languages. Does the minister agree?”
“Mr. Speaker, the real shame is holding seniors’ charities hostage. That is ridiculous. The indigenous languages commissioner hosted a four-day conference that cost $10 million. That is $10 million for four days. A University of Manitoba professor asked people to imagine how many indigenous students could have learned their mother tongue. Does the minister agree with the professor?”
