OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jun 19, 2013) - Today, the Honourable Bernard Valcourt, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, welcomed Royal Assent of four key pieces of legislation that clearly demonstrate the Harper Government's commitment to increasing opportunities for Aboriginal people and Northerners in Canada. A fifth bill, Bill C-27, the First Nations Financial Transparency Act, received Royal Assent in March.
"Our Government and Aboriginal peoples are aligned in our goal of seeing the gaps between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people closed when it comes to living standards, quality of life and economic opportunities," said Minister Valcourt. "We are proud of the legislation that received Royal Assent today. These laws are historic achievements that will bring real change and improvements for people living in Canada's Aboriginal and Northern communities."
The five pieces of legislation that have received Royal Assent to date in 2013 are:
"Our Government is proud to have worked with many Aboriginal leaders and community members to pass these important pieces of legislation," Minister Valcourt added. "I salute all who helped make these laws happen, particularly those who began this journey many years ago. Your hard work, courage and vision have paid off. Today, we can all take pride in what we have accomplished."
