February 17, 2012.    Don Drummond's report, at least the education piece of it, gets a couple of things right, a couple of things wrong, and a lot open to debate.

Recommendations 6 through 10 deal with First Nations education issues. Drummond is an economist and his lack of understanding of some educations issues reflects his ignorance but he is unequivocable in urging the government to put new money into First Nations education. It's a good idea, one that is about 100 years overdue. Our sorry track record is a reflection of our attitude and indifference to First Nations issues.
