Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the National Indian Brotherhood Trust Fund [English translation not provided].
Mr. Speaker, the National Indian Brotherhood Trust Fund studies the problem that face Aboriginal people across Canada and works to propose solutions and to protect First Nations cultures and values. Since 2009, the Trust has also delivered educational programs and student financial assistance. It also provides healing and reconciliation programs to support First Nations people as they address the intergenerational impacts of the Indian residential school program. Now I would like to talk about the last one a bit more. Mr. Speaker, through a fund administered by the Trust both individuals and groups can apply for funding for education programs aimed at healing and reconciliation.
[English translation not provided.]
Mr. Speaker, individuals can also apply to this fund. Aboriginal people, including survivors of residential school can access up to $20,000 to support their education, healing, and reconciliation. That could mean money for tuition, living expenses, or books and other supplies, or money for participation in traditional education programs or formal research. Mr. Speaker, the deadline for individual applications to this fund is June 24, 2016. I encourage anyone listening today to visit the website of the National Indian Brotherhood Trust Fund for more information about this opportunity. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
