First Nations - Implementing First Nations Rights

A fundamental transformation of the fiscal relationship between First Nations and the Canadian government is urgently required. As a result of their historical and ongoing dispossession and marginalization, First Nation women, men, and children fare worse than all other people in Canada on virtually every indicator of well-being. First Nation peoples face disproportionately high levels of poverty and lower levels of access to economic and educational opportunities. They are three times as likely to live in housing in need of major repairs, more likely to be without safe drinking water, and First Nation women and girls continue to experience disproportionately high rates of violence.
