New Brunswick First Nations have announced they’re pulling out of the Higgs Government’s proposed “all nations working group”.
The province had announced the working group earlier this month to address recommendations made by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Wul-ah’-stook-kway) First Nations announced they were withdrawing, calling it a political smokescreen created by the government. The withdrawl comes after the new Aboriginal Affairs Minister, Arlene Dunn, enraged first nations leaders last week when she amended an opposition liberal motion in the house removing language in the bill calling for public inquiry into systemic racism.
