First Nations and Perry Bellegarde

Perry Bellegarde: One new issue that Perry Bellegarde, newly elected chief of the Assembly of First Nations, raised was the suggestion that people moving from reserves to the cities be supported in the same manner as new citizens coming to Canada. Implementation of this suggestion would ensure aboriginal people have a much better start in the city and ultimately significantly more opportunity for success. If we can afford to offer these services job training, housing assistance etc. to immigrants, then surely we should provide similar if not more assistance to First Nations on a one-time basis.
