Premier Kathleen Wynne and Ontario Regional Chief Isadore Day released this joint statement following the fourth annual Chiefs of Ontario Leaders in the Legislature event in Toronto:
"For the past three days, over 25 Provincial Cabinet Members and First Nations Chiefs from across the province met to discuss our shared interests, the challenges we face and the collaborative steps we are taking to move forward on our journey toward reconciliation.
Generations of oppression and abuse have created systemic inequality for First Nations people. These are complicated, multifaceted issues -- but by actively coming together to create more opportunities and more fairness, we are addressing them.
