June 23, 2015 - Ottawa, ON - Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada
This week, the Honourable Bernard Valcourt, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, is proud to announce the passage of three key legislative initiatives that clearly demonstrate our Government's commitment to increasing economic opportunities, and improving the well-being and quality of life for Aboriginal people and Northerners in Canada.
These include the Déline Final Self-Government Agreement Act, amendments to the First Nations Fiscal Management Act, and the Yukon and Nunavut Regulatory Improvement Act.
This is yet another example of our Government's continued efforts to partner with Aboriginal peoples and Northerners to ensure they have the necessary tools to take full advantage of Canada's economic prosperity. Our Government is creating the conditions that lead to quality jobs and economic development opportunities across the country.
