I too have been involved in the First Nations Tax Commission, which is a government council appointee process. It is lengthy and cumbersome, but having an adequate term is critically important, particularly at the outset. This is so you can begin to delve into the complex matters we will be facing, in terms of economic reconciliation and where we fit into the fiscal makeup of the country.
However, and as was stated in the past, if we don't have a fiscal relationship that includes first nations, Canada will not achieve its global standing of former days.
