Some positive news today on the aboriginal file. Economists at TD Bank say they see progress as native communities link up with the private sector. The report reinforces what is becoming a growing consensus on the way forward on aboriginal policy. All four candidates in the July 22 election for national chief of the Assembly of First Nations say they would spend more time, if elected, linking up with resource companies to create jobs. Indian Affairs minister Chuck Strahl is also using similar language of late, announcing recently that he intends to reward communities that submit clear business plans for economic development. The TD report says the Indian Act remains a major problem. The government has promised talks this summer aimed at a revision of the law, which dates back to 1876.
