First Nations in Yukon say federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister
Bernard Valcourt insulted and dismissed them at a meeting to discuss
their concerns that planned changes to environmental assessments in the
territory give too much power to Ottawa.
“We came down here on the invitation of the minister to discuss this
and he totally insulted our First Nations, he totally insulted our
agreements and it’s like ‘business as usual. Too bad what you think,”’
said Ruth Massie, grand chief of the Council of Yukon First Nations.
