First Nations Still Far from Closing the Gap According to the Aboriginal Economic Progress
Report 2015 – National Chief Calls for Immediate Action

(Ottawa, ON) – Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief Perry Bellegarde has stated that The Aboriginal Progress Report 2015, a new report by the National Aboriginal Economic Development Board (NAEDB), provides important recommendations for addressing the socio-economic challenges faced by First Nations in Canada.

“This report is a call to action to all levels of governments that we need to make more investments, especially on-reserve, to create more jobs and economic opportunities for our people,” said AFN National Chief Bellegarde. “Because we have the fastest growing segment in Canada’s population, we must invest in human capital – which will provide huge returns in investment with a well-educated and skilled labor force.”

The NAEDB report provides targets and substantive measures that suggest economic development as the foundation for real reconciliation and true collaboration between governments, the private sector and First Nations. Due to years of chronic underfunding (2% cap), the gap has continued to grow and deepen. This is seen directly in the severe social and economic conditions facing First Nations today. The report’s first recommendation to “Focus on First Nations On Reserve” as a priority is a good step to closing the gap.

National Chief Bellegarde added: “In order for First Nations to prosper, basic infrastructure needs must be met – from clean water to housing needs – economic strategies and capacity development at the local and regional levels. Quick action must follow this report.”
