One of the things I have done since I became Grand Chief two and a half years ago is try to raise the image and positive profile of our community while creating stronger relationships with our stakeholders and partners, whether it be the City of Cornwall, private entities, or the Government of Canada.
Specifically, under the Minister of Indigenous Affairs, who now is the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs, Carolyn Bennett, our council and our community forged forward in creating a more positive relationship with the department. I believe that by continuing to work toward a positive relationship we have seen many results in collaboration with the Government of Canada.
