Aboriginal Peoples' Commission 2005 Biennial Convention Liberal Party of Canada ABORIGINAL PEOPLES' COMMISSION THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 2005 WESTIN HOTEL, OTTAWA I am delighted to extend my warmest greetings to you on the occasion of the Liberal Party of Canada’s 2005 Biennial Policy Convention in Ottawa from March 3 to 6, 2005. As Leader of the Liberal Party, I am tremendously proud to see so many Aboriginal people in attendance, and am grateful for the enthusiasm and knowledge you will bring to this event. Indeed, I am proud to say that we have accomplished much of what we have set out to do, and our progress has been more than impressive. In fact, we have asserted our country’s role on the international stage, increased transparency and accountability, signed a historic Health Accord with the provinces and presented a clear picture of the Canada we envision for the future. Thanks to your efforts, our Party has been successful in establishing new directions and priorities for Aboriginal people. Indeed, we can all take great pride in our commitment to addressing this national priority and to achieving tangible progress in improving the health and well-being of Aboriginal communities across Canada. I look forward to joining you and discussing our objectives while renewing several ties of friendship with many members and organizers present. Please accept my warmest regards and best wishes for a most productive and exciting Convention. The Right Honourable Paul Martin, P.C., M.P. Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada O T T A W A 2005 A ANDREA DYKSTRA AND HANK ROWLINSON, CO-PRESIDENTS ABORIGINAL PEOPLES' COMMISSION It is a great time to be an Aboriginal Liberal. Since 1990, the Aboriginal Peoples' Commission (APC) has welcomed Aboriginal peoples into the Liberal family. To date, ours remains the only political party to formally recognize the unique position occupied by First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples in Canadian society. The importance of providing a voice and an opportunity for Aboriginal peoples to represent themselves within the Party structure can not be overlooked or understated. Over the years, the APC has contributed significantly to the fabric of the Liberal Party of Canada. The influence of Aboriginal peoples on the Party structure is evident by the important policy resolutions that have been adopted at past Conventions. Issues such as the recognition of the inherent right of self-government and the adoption of a national housing strategy have been brought forward by the APC and put into action by our government. We should be proud that we have contributed to action on these most pressing and important issues to our communities. Our representation on the LPC National Executive ensures that we have a say not only in those issues that directly affect Aboriginal communities; we have an opportunity to influence all aspects of the Party's business, and consequentially, the policies that will affect this entire country. This role is undeniably important if Aboriginal peoples are to be truly well represented. Our work is far from complete. One of our most essential roles is to increase Aboriginal representation in Parliament. Historically, only 15 Aboriginal people have been elected to the House of Commons, and currently, only four members of Parliament are Aboriginal. For Aboriginal people to be represented proportionally, we would hold 16 seats. We must continue to work actively toward the mobilization of the Aboriginal electorate if our numbers are to increase. We would like to take this opportunity to reflect on some of our government's important achievements since our last Convention in November 2003. In April 2004, a new era began in terms of Canada's relationship with Aboriginal Peoples with the first ever Canada-Aboriginal Peoples Roundtable held in Ottawa. This event brought together over forty government representatives, including more than two dozen Cabinet Ministers, and over 70 Aboriginal leaders from across Canada to discuss solutions to the issues facing Aboriginal communities. The Paul Martin Liberal government has brought a renewed focus on Aboriginal issues, through the creation of a new Parliamentary Secretary on Aboriginal Affairs who reports directly to the Prime Minister and through the creation of an Aboriginal Secretariat in the Privy Council Office. The Liberal Party Platform is the only policy document that deals directly with the issues of ALL of Canada's Aboriginal peoples - First Nations, the Metis nation and the Inuit. The Liberal Platform also deals directly the needs of increasing Aboriginal populations in urban centers. The Liberal Party 1 is committed to upholding and affirming Treaty rights and recognizes that self-government is an important goal to ensure self-sufficiency and self-determination for Aboriginal peoples in Canada. The Liberal government has tackled the deficit and put the country's finances in order, through seven consecutive balanced budgets. This has ensured that a new Liberal government will have the fiscal capacity to deliver on their social and economic commitments to ensure a better future for Canada's Aboriginal peoples. We would like to thank Prime Minister Paul Martin for his support and leadership on all of these important initiatives. It has been an honour and a privilege to work alongside him in the advancement of Aboriginal issues. We look forward to working with the Right Honourable Paul Martin, Prime Minister of Canada, on the many more important issues that remain to be addressed. We are confident that the Aboriginal Peoples' Commission will continue to occupy an essential role within the Liberal Party, and we look forward to your continued participation to help us along the way. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE APC NATIONAL EXECUTIVE 4 APC MISSION STATEMENT 5 APC BIENNIAL AGENDA 6 RULES GOVERNING THE APC BIENNIAL MEETING 7 APC PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO BYLAWS 10 REPORTS • CO-PRESIDENTS 24 • VICE-PRESIDENT, COMMUNICATIONS 28 • VICE-PRESIDENT, ORGANIZATION AND MEMBERSHIP 30 • VICE-PRESIDENT, POLICY 31 • VICE-PRESIDENT, YLC 32 • REPRESENTATIVE, POLICY 33 • PRESIDENT, ALBERTA 34 3 NATIONAL EXECUTIVE Co-Presidents Andrea Dykstra Hank Rowlinson Vice-Presidents Communications Cindy Woodhouse Finance John Hill Organization and Recruitment Sheila Keewatin NWLC Ginger Gosnell Policy Wayne Helgason YLC Joshua Fraser Representative, Policy Carolann Brewer Provincial/Territorial APC President, Yukon John Burdek President, Nunavut Joe Kunuk President, British Columbia Richard Harry President, Alberta Robin Wortman President, Saskatchewan Phillip Head President, Manitoba Nathan McCorrister President, Ontario Barry Christoff President, Quebec Luc Lainé President, Labrador Todd Russel President, Newfoundland Calvin White APC Manager Monique Trottier 4 PREAMBLE OF THE APC'S CONSTITUTION BELIEVING in the right of all Aboriginal people to participate in the political process in Canada in order to achieve a just and equitable position for Aboriginal Peoples in Canadian society; COMMITTED to the socio-economic betterment of Aboriginal people and the recognition of the Aboriginal and treaty right of Aboriginal peoples, including the inherent right of self-determination; DEDICATED to the creation of a caring society and healthy environment in which all peoples may peacefully flourish in harmony with our Mother the Earth, so as to ensure a place for our generations to come; BELIEVING that the philosophy and ideology of the Liberal Party of Canada is compatible with the aspirations of Aboriginal people and best suited to accommodate the interests of Aboriginal peoples in Canada; and, THEREFORE the hereinafter described organization is constituted as a commission of the Liberal Party of Canada with the principal objectives of representing and promoting the interests of Aboriginal Peoples within the Liberal Party of Canada and encouraging the active participation of Aboriginal people at all levels within the Party. 5 2005 BIENNIAL MEETING MARCH 3, 2005 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM WESTIN HOTEL - CONFEDERATION III 9:00 am Opening Prayers • Adoption of Meeting Rules • Introductions & Welcoming Remarks • Adoption of Agenda 9:30 am APC Constitutional Amendments 10:00 am Guest Speaker - T.J.
