The Ministry of Northern Development and UOI Offices, Nipissing First Nation (May 2, sions must match the dire need for clear and fair consultation with our First Nations and pro- mote a clear and fair treaty right to sharing in the resource-based economy." The proposed regulations also state that pro- Mines recently posted a number of regulatory proposals for the second phase of new regula- tions under the Mining Act on Ontario's Regu- latory and Environmental Registries. Ministry officials provided Anishinabek leadership with a written request to comment on the proposed regulations via the Environmental Registry by May 1, 2012. The Anishinabek Nation asserts that First Nations have the right to be consulted and their interests accommodated on a direct, govern- ment-to-government basis on mining legislation that affects their treaty territories. Because of their unique historic and legal relationship with both levels of government in Canada, First Na- tions maintain that such public consultation pro- cesses as the submission of comments to the Environmental Registry do not meet the stan- dards set by Supreme Court decisions on the duty to consult and accommodate. "More than ever, the level of dialogue with First Nations is critical," says Chief Day, who is Lands Portfolio holder for the Anishinabek Na- tion. "Our government-to-government discus- ponents and prospectors will be compensated for their consultation expenses. As there is no comparable reference to First Nations compen- sation, the Anishinabek Nation requests that the Ministry address this inequitable distribution of financial resources for consultation capacity. "It is incumbent upon the Ministry to ensure that assigning a directive to developers to con- sult First Nations in the development process should in no way erode our rights at the gov- ernment table," says Chief Day. "The province must maintain its role as a treaty partner and accommodate a process that is consistent to Anishinabek goals and values." The Anishinabek Nation established the Union of Ontario Indians as its secretariat in 1949. The UOI member communities across Ontario, senting approximately 55,000 citizens. The Union of Ontario Indians is the oldest political organization in Ontario and can trace its roots back to the Confederacy of Three Fires, which existed long before European contact. is a political advocate for 39 repre- ~ Maurice Switzer, Director of Communications 75¢ BV Essentials off Cheese 600 g Coupon expires July 15, 2012.
