If you're going to play that game, you might as well list every prime minister this country has had over the last 3 generations.
Harper increased spending on aboriginal affairs by 2 billion from 2014 to 2015 to nearly 9 billion dollars.
The problem is that there isn't a system in place to make sure that its not just throwing money at the problem.
Spending by the government per first nations persons has increased fairly significantly since Harper took over.
Its not that they're not spending the money or increasing the budget. Its that the system is completely broken and the strategy of keep throwing money at it is a bad strategy.
