Funding fo First Nations,Organizations and Government exploitation of resources

Public Accounts of Canada is released every year by the Government of Canada. This year the Government released the proactive disclosure of funding around the first week of November 2007. Proactive disclosure is the amount released by government which discloses the amount disbursed to each grantee. The amount is usually set at $100,000 minimum or higher in which they disclose the funding amount being released to a particular FN or Organization. It also states what it's purpose the funding allocation was to be used for. Unfortunately, sometimes funding is not used for its intented purpose. The information for the last fiscal years(April-April) for the funding being released to each grantee is on the website http://epe.lac-bac.gc.ca/100/201/301/public_accounts_can/index.html This website displays funding allotments within the last thirteen years. To access dates earlier than that and to access funding allotments at $25,000 or less can be accessable at Archives of Canada

The reporting of of funding of 99,999 or less 25,000 is displayed on the departmental websites http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pd-dp/gr-rg/index_e.asp ... The funding displayed at the next post is funding of $100,000 or more to each FN. However, I will include the funding release date per quarter(3 month(s) intervals shortly. The quarterly funding will increaes the funding for the fiscal year for each FN. However, some funding is delivered through multi year contribution agreements, for instance health.

The provincial government reporting is not available in certain provinces(like Manitoba which is un-audited statements)All provinces should have reporting requirments that is similar to the federal government reporting requirments set out by the Treasury Board or the Auditor-General of Canada.

This is where federal complaints by band members or individuals should be sent to! Why? INAC is a very lazy department it a revolving door of Modern Indian Agents or it can be stated their missing in action MIA they are never there or they might say to get info a BCR is needed it should be called CCR Chief and Council resoultion. The band is not involved in the process when drafting of a resoultion. Should be an open meeting when a resoultion is passed, but band member are usually not involved in the decision making process of the resoultion However ,we have to move away from the Indian Act guidlines it too restrictive!

The federal legislation called Financial Accountability Act( http://www.faa-lfi.gc.ca/faa-lfi/faa-lfi14_e.asp)should applys to the government not just FN's when doing business with chief and council(Delgamauuk..Supreme Court stated: Chief and Council are the adminstrative arm of the federal government so the Indian Act does apply, the supreme court says so). The templates they use for reporting is to burdensome to many reports and their audited reports are to loose it should be be more forensic(detailed); but we should start by building these templates of accountabilty ourselves to set an example for government to follow. Then maybe they can use our templates of reporting on where the money is going on exploitation of our resources in each treaty territory! In our treaty area in particular where 87.6 Billion dollars(Resource Extraction) has been usurped since Treaty TWO(1871) was signed by our ancestors. Theft of our minerals such as: Gypsum(hence the word Gypsumville) this used to make Dry Wall, Gravel, Lime, Cement(Steeprock) to make their paved road and buildings ,Fishing, Logging,Railway Transportation, Hydro Transmission lines...etc Its great to be acountable but accountability works both ways! However, The INDIAN ACT is the problem we have to focus on treaty revitilization because currently it's on life support!
