2) the federal government, with First Nations should start developing a 10 year plan for improvements and clear, measurable outcomes to reduce the socio-economic gaps between First Nations people and non-Indigenous people.
3) The Ministry and Department of Indigenous Affairs could/should become non-partisan and be run by Indigenous people for Indigenous people.
4) Get rid of the Indian Act. Historically, there were between 60-80 historical First Nations. The Indian Act has created over 600 reserves.
