Document Summary
*open letter to the minister of aboriginal affairs. Promoted as an exciting bill because it was going to increase funding to fn school"s and increase control by fn of their schools. This was rejected by assembly of fn. The duty to consult didn"t take place in a meaningful way w/ fn. On a bill that would impact fns. If a bill was to be passed and would impact treaty rights of fns, it had to be consulted. The gov. said there were 8 regional meetings and they were widely consulted. There were no methods for fns could respond/give feedback to the bill, nor how the money would be allocated. Education reform is a dynamic and constant process in fns education systems. There"s little funding, power is in the hands of ottawa, fns is the fastest growing pop. Should take place after the bill has been passed, during the implementation process. This is something that"s not part of the convo.
