salary
As a First Nations person im really concerned about this because i know resedents on reserve
are in need of these crucial funds for housing,health care,college or university education.ect.
i encourage people on the reserves to encourage accountability and transparency with their votes.
And it should be noted that accountability, transparency,wasted or poorly managed revenues are a problem within all levels of Canadian Govt,Fed,Prov,Mun.
I hope the pundits will keep this in mind.
Help out the less fortunate
I'd give them more if they used it to: build housing that the government is being forced to fund, design and support programs to curb drug and alcohol abuse, improve education within its jurisdiction. Give me 300 k and see what I can do with it.
Band and Chief pay
These guys are amateurs. Take a look at central Alberta.
