Mr. Speaker, let me quote from the Auditor General:
The resources that first nations communities must devote to preparing stacks of federal reports could be better used to meet pressing community needs.
Finally, a Sheila that makes sense.
According to the Auditor General, small first nations communities are being forced to file over 200 reports annually that the government rarely uses. Now the government is adding to the red tape burden. This week it announced plans to create four more aboriginal only agencies.
Why is the government's answer to every problem the creation of a new bureaucracy?
