Revenue increased to $97.5 million from to $81.1 million due to one-time funding for the First Nations Housing Initiative. These higher revenues were off set by expenditures of $96.1 million, resulting in the surplus of $1.4 million after amortization. Acquisition of capital as- sets of around $1.2 million used up most of this annual surplus so there was no recovery of net debt in this fi s- cal year. These capital purchases will enable our program services to operate more effi ciently over the next few years and ensure that those programs generate future surpluses that will contribute to the recovery of our net debt. Our Chiefs and the Annual Assembly have supported our fi nancial recovery eff orts by their continued oversight of our fi nancial situation. We are grateful for their ongoing support at Chiefs meetings and at the Executive Board/ Treasury Board meetings where a lot more detailed ques- tions have been deliberated.

  • “Just Do It!” Self-Determination for Complex Minorities
    “Just Do It!” Self-Determination for Complex Minorities By Janique F. Dubois A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Janique F. Dubois, 2013 “Just Do It!” Self-Determination for Complex Minorities Janique F. Dubois Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This thesis explores how Indigenous and linguistic communities achieve self- determination without fixed cultural and territorial boundaries. An examination of the governance practices of Métis, Francophones and First Nations in Saskatchewan reveals that these communities use innovative membership and participation rules in lieu of territorial and cultural criteria to delineate the boundaries within which to exercise political power. These practices have allowed territorially dispersed communities to build institutions, adopt laws and deliver services through province-wide governance structures. In addition to providing an empirical basis to support non-territorial models of self-determination, this study offers a new approach to governance that challenges state- centric theories of minority rights by focusing on the transformative power communities generate through stories and actions. ii Acknowledgements I would not have been able to complete this project without the generosity and kindness of family, friends, mentors and strangers. I am indebted to all of those who welcomed me in their office, invited me into their homes and sat across from me in restaurants to answer my questions. For trusting me with your stories and for the generosity of your time, thank you, marci, merci, hay hay. I am enormously grateful to my committee members for whom I have the utmost respect as scholars and as people.

  • Environmental Scan: Aboriginal Homelessness in Saskatchewan Off-Reserve and Outside Saskatoon and Regina
    Aboriginal Homelessness Advisory Board & Provincial Métis Housing Corporation Environmental Scan: Aboriginal Homelessness in Saskatchewan Off-Reserve and Outside Saskatoon and Regina March 2015 Acknowledgements As Saskatchewan’s first province-wide study on Aboriginal Homelessness Off-Reserve and outside the Cities of Saskatoon and Regina, we would like to express appreciation to all those who have made this project a success. First, we would like to thank all those people experiencing homelessness who shared their stories with the researchers. These are the people who shared personal accounts and community knowledge. Every piece of information was a valuable asset to the project. We are grateful for all the courage and conviction you have shown. Second, we are honoured to have many people who dedicated themselves to helping with the project. These are the front line workers and service providers who met and spoke with the researchers. The devotion to their communities and to eliminating challenges and homelessness is encouraging and inspiring. Without your help we would not have accomplished this task. Next, we would like to express our gratitude to all the advisors who helped advance this research process. These are the members of the communities and service providers who guided the progress of the project. Thank you for pointing us in the right direction. Lastly, we would like to thank the Aboriginal Homelessness Advisory Board for being the steering committee of this project. Your commitment to Saskatchewan and its Aboriginal people is awe-inspiring! Without your leadership and support this study would not have come to fruition. Once again, thank you, each and every one of you.
