FSIN ‘annoyed, disrespected’ as Indigenous leaders excluded from federal health-care transfer talks
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that he will meet with the premiers on Feb. 7 in Ottawa to hear their priorities for investment.
“There is no reconciliation for First Nations when we continue to be excluded from these crucial discussions and decision-making processes,” FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron stated in a release. “We are not treated properly in the provincial health care system. Our people don’t have access to services and care the same as non-First Nations. We expect and demand to be at the table every step of the way from beginning to end. And that’s what our people ask of us as First Nation leaders to continue to promote and ensure the implementation of our inherent rights and Treaty rights.”
