Lynn Beyak: Beyak and Canadian Citizenship

lynn beyak: Carolyn Bennett says Beyak's suggestion is simply offensive, according to CTV. I am deeply disappointed that Senator Lynn Beyak continues to provide these uninformed and simply offensive comments for issues which she clearly doesn't understand, said Bennett in a statement to CTV News. Lynn Beyak for saying that First Nations should trade in their status cards for a Canadian citizenship. Beyak, who came under fire earlier this year for her remarks about Indigenous people, made the comments in an open letter on her Senate website on Sept. 1. Trade your status card for a Canadian citizenship, with a fair and negotiated payout to each Indigenous man, woman and child in Canada, to settle all the outstanding land claims and treaties, and move forward together just like the leaders already do in Ottawa, Beyak wrote. None of us are leaving, so let's stop the guilt and blame and find a way to live together and share. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
