| Abstract: |
Teams of government officials will soon spread out across the country, asking First Nations people what they think the government should do to improve their local governments. Robert Nault, the Indian Affairs minister, during a long interview with this newspaper, frequently hinted he believes the First Nations leadership is trying to scuttle his plans for reform because they have a lot to lose if the present system is changed. He insists there is no hidden agenda and his goal is to improve the quality of life for First Nation peoples. |
