Ontario's incoming premier Doug Ford is being warned not to scrap the Ministry of Indigenous Relations from his new cabinet.
Ford and his Progressive Conservative ministers are to be sworn in on Friday at the Ontario Legislature, formally taking power after nearly 15 years of Liberal government in the province. There are strong signals from the Ford transition team that the cabinet will be trimmed significantly from the peak of 30 members it reached under outgoing premier Kathleen Wynne.
Indigenous leaders and others are urging Ford to maintain a minister solely responsible for issues of concern to First Nations, in keeping with a 2007 recommendation of the Ipperwash inquiry.
That judicial probe examined the shooting death of Indigenous man Dudley George in a 1995 standoff between protesters and the OPP at the Ipperwash provincial park,. It was sharply critical of how the PC government of Mike Harris handled the occupation.
Ontario Regional Chief Isadore Day, who leads the 133-member Chiefs of Ontario, pointed to the Ipperwash recommendation in a letter this month to Ford.
