    APC Annual Report 918489 9/20/05 5:09 PM Page 1 Executive Director’s Report ver the past year the relationship between First Nations and the Government of Canada has improved considerably. At the national level the AFN O(Assembly of First Nations) has created a better working environment with the ministers and senior government officials. Parties discussed issues and worked on plans to create work and various activities which have created a number of tangible results for the First Nations in Atlantic Canada. The Canada-Aboriginal Peoples Roundtable held in Ottawa on April 19th, 2004 set in motion solid discussions on a wide range of aboriginal issues. Because of the Roundtable meeting federal ministers who deal with First Nations and aboriginal peoples moved the issues to the forefront of their political mandates. In various speeches and documents including the Speech from the Throne, the Government of Canada expressed the view that fundamental transformative change was necessary to create and sustain new relationships and federal policies and develop change that is not based on failed federal policies of the past implemented with minimal input from First Nations people imposed on First Nations people and their communities. The year was one of dialogue and the development of innovative ideas and plans. Many perspectives were articulated at the six roundtables conducted by the Government of Canada. Over 200 participants attended the Roundtable including First Nations representatives in the areas of health, housing, lifelong learning, relationships and accountability. By the end of the year some ideas progressed into action with some federal funding support in the 2005 budget however, not to the degree needed by First Nation communities across the country.
