Fall 2011 Outlook - Priority Areas
As the end of summer approaches and the House of Commons plans its return, First Nations across Canada continue to pursue action in a number of key areas. As mandated by Chiefs across Canada, I look forward to continuing a rigorous agenda throughout the Fall focused on First Nation priority areas: asserting our rights and affirming our responsibilities, advancing the National Treaty strategy, education, and community safety and security including safe drinking water.
