Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is failing grassroots people in First Nations communities by failing to enforce The First Nations Financial Transparency Act
First Nations activist delivers thousands of petition signatures supporting First Nations financial transparency
OTTAWA, ON: First Nations activist Maskowikamihk Charmaine Stick and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation delivered 30,000 petition signatures to the Prime Minister's Office calling on the federal government to enforce the First Nations Financial Transparency Act.
"Today me and 30,000 of my friends came to ask the prime minister a simple question: why aren't you standing up for grassroots band members when they're looking for accountability?" asked Stick, who is a member of the Onion Lake Cree Nation in Saskatchewan. "The prime minister likes to talk about sunny ways bringing Canadians together so he needs to join us and support openness and transparency."
