February IXth, MMXV

Hon. Gordon Dirks, B. Ed., M. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative, Calgary-Elbow

Dear Gordon:

For the Hon. Bernard Valcourt, PC, MP a look at trying to strike interim deals on education with tribal leaders on reserves. This is a sound policy as making the educational conditions better for Ist Nations youth can only make their lives better.

"I will not let the politics of the First Nations at the national level deter us from working with the First Nations at the community level to improve education outcomes."

Number CCLXXXVI (286),

Rory
