Watch Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre's presentation to the Senate Committee on Aboriginal People here. Total video is 1:15 minutes. Informative but question period can make one wonder what planet the Senate lives on! A summary of the issues will be posted here when transcripts are published.
Key message: shift focus from social agenda to economic agenda.
Interesting question raised worth mentioning here. Do bilateral agreements between First Nations and BC like Strategic Engagement Agreements and Incremental Treaty Agreements help or hinder the pace of treaty negotiations?
Help, if tied to treaty.
