  • Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and Their Program Choices
    Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and their Program Choices by Pamela Williamson A dissertation submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Higher Education Graduate Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Pamela Williamson (2011) Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and their Post-Secondary Program Choices Doctor of Higher Education 2011 Pamela Williamson Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract The exploratory study focused on First Nation students and First Nation education counsellors within Ontario. Using an interpretative approach, the research sought to determine the relevance of the counsellors as a potentially influencing factor in the students‘ post-secondary program choices. The ability of First Nation education counsellors to be influential is a consequence of their role since they administer Post- Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP) funding. A report evaluating the program completed by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada in 2005 found that many First Nation students would not have been able to achieve post-secondary educational levels without PSSSP support. Eight self-selected First Nation Education counsellors and twenty-nine First Nation post- secondary students participated in paper surveys, and five students and one counsellor agreed to complete a follow-up interview. The quantitative and qualitative results revealed differences in the perceptions of the two survey groups as to whether First Nation education counsellors influenced students‘ post-secondary program choices.

  • Government Spending and Own-Source Revenue for Canada’S Aboriginals : a Comparative Analysis
    MARCH 2016 Government Spending and Own-Source Revenue for Canada’s Aboriginals : A Comparative Analysis. By Ravina Bains and Kayla Ishkanian March 2016 Government Spending and Own-Source Revenue for Canada’s Aboriginals: A Comparative Analysis by Ravina Bains and Kayla Ishkanian fraserinstitute.org Contents Executive summary / iii Introduction / 1 Spending on Canada’s Aboriginals / 2 Own-source revenue / 12 Conclusion / 18 References / 19 About the authors / 23 Acknowledgments / 23 Publishing information / 23 Supporting the Fraser Institute / 24 Purpose, funding, & independence / 24 About the Fraser Institute / 25 Editorial Advisory Board / 26 fraserinstitute.org / i fraserinstitute.org Executive summary With average unemployment rates on reserve above 20 percent and graduation rates below 40 percent, there is a clear gap in outcomes between Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals in Canada. This is sometimes blamed on funding dispar- ities. This study provides a fact-based evaluation of the oft-heard claims that spending on Canada’s aboriginal population is not comparable to spending on other Canadians. It examines actual spending on aboriginal Canadians using data from the federal department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, Health Canada, and provincial governments, sources where aborig- inal spending was clearly identified in the public accounts. Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) The data used to compare INAC spending on aboriginal matters with total federal program spending runs from 1946/47 through 2013/14. Per-person comparisons date from 1949/50. The increase in spending on Canada’s aboriginal peoples has been sig- nificant. In real terms, total department spending on Canada’s aboriginal peoples rose from $82 million annually in 1946/47 to over $7.9 billion in 2013/14 (all figures in this report are inflation-adjusted to 2015 dollars).

  • Wuskwi Sipihk Cree Nation V. Canada (Minister of National Health and Welfare)

Canada (Minister of National Health and Welfare) Between The Wuskwi Sipihk Cree Nation, The Mathias Colomb Cree Nation, The Opaskwayak Cree Nation, The Sapotewayek Cree Nation, The Mosakahiken Cree Nation, The Grand Rapids First Nation, and The Chemawawin Cree Nation, plaintiffs, and Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of National Health and Welfare, defendant [1999] F.C.J. No. 82 Court File No. T-383-98 Federal Court of Canada - Trial Division Winnipeg, Manitoba Hargrave, Prothonotary January 21, 1999 (11 pp.) Crown -- Actions by and against Crown in right of Canada -- Practice -- Stay of proceedings -- Pleadings -- Courts -- Federal Court of Canada -- Jurisdiction -- Indians -- Provision of health services. Motion by the defendant Minister of National Health and Welfare for a stay of the action brought by Wuskwi Sipihk Cree Nation for deficiencies in the health care. The action arose out of the government's decision to share jurisdiction Page 2 and responsibility for Native health care with the Province of Manitoba. The Cree Nation claimed that the federal government's delegation of responsibility for Native health care violated its treaty and constitutional rights. It sought declaratory and mandatory relief in order to obtain adequate and continuous health care. The Minister argued that the Federal Court had lost jurisdiction over the matter as the government sought to bring a third party claim against the Manitoba Crown for indemnity. The government argued that the Federal Court had no jurisdiction because health care was a provincial matter, and mandamus was a remedy to be applied only to federal boards, commissions and tribunals.
