Perry Bellegarde, the national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, called out the federal government at a meeting of aboriginal affairs ministers in Yellowknife Tuesday, saying they need to be present at discussions on aboriginal issues.
Bellegarde was in Yellowknife for a meeting of the Aboriginal Affairs Working Group, which includes provincial and territorial ministers of aboriginal affairs and leaders of five national aboriginal groups. The group met yesterday to discuss closing the gap between the quality of life of aboriginal and non-aboriginal people in Canada.
