First Nations could lose funding
AUGUST 11, 2000
The 346 First Nations who failed to file satisfactory financial audits with the Indian and Northern Affairs
face losing their share of the $4.9 billion in federal funds.
The Assembly of First Nations accused the federal
goverment of making the audit process too
complex and intrusive. Matthew Coon Come, chief
of AFN, said First Nations are required to disclose
salaries while provincial governments do not.
