The Chiefs Steering Committee Denounces Government of Canada's Ongoing Failure to Uphold Treaty Obligations
TREATY 6 TERRITORY, June 20, 2025 /CNW/ - The Chiefs Steering Committee on Technical Services (CSC) expresses profound disappointment in the Government of Canada's persistent failure to uphold its duties and agreements enshrined in Treaty regarding natural resources and water rights. Bill C-5 is being pushed through to fast-track 'nation-building' projects on First Nations lands and endangering Treaty rights. While Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly stated that First Nations input for this legislation is 'critical' to move forward, he failed to meaningfully consult with First Nations Chiefs in the Alberta region on this issue to date, despite multiple invitations. "The Treaties said that we, as Peoples, would live without interference. And yet, Canada has done nothing but interfere," says Chief Vernon Watchmaker from Kehewin Cree Nation and member of the CSC. "Treaties were intended to establish a nation-to-nation relationship, ensuring our Peoples would flourish for as long as the sun shines, the grass grows, and the waters flow. Treaty exists, and it cannot be ignored." Despite generations of First Nations advocacy and explicit promises made by multiple governments, most First Nations continue to live without reliable access to clean, safe drinking water and the infrastructure to support it, a fundamental human right that stands in stark contrast to the abundance enjoyed by the rest of the country. "While the Government of Canada speaks of reconciliation and a renewed relationship with First Nations Peoples, its actions regarding water rights consistently fall short," says Chief Rupert Meneen from Tallcree Tribal Government and member of the CSC. "We demand that Canada honour its binding legal and moral obligations. Our inherent right to govern and protect our waters is not a privilege to be granted, but a right to be recognized and upheld. The health and well-being of our Peoples, our lands, and our future depend on it." "Bill C-5 recognizes the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) but provides no tangible ways to implement it," says Chief Wilfred Hooka-Nooza from Dene Tha' First Nation. Recent legislative efforts, such as Bill C-61 or the First Nations Clean Water Act, was actively criticized by the CSC for failing to adequately recognize inherent and Treaty rights to water, and potentially offloading Canada's responsibilities—a 'dump-and-run' legislation. "Canada is trying to step over the rights of First Nations, but our inherent right to self-determination comes from us, not from the government," says Chief Watchmaker. "The time for empty promises and incremental progress is over." The CSC calls upon Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Government of Canada to: Support and re-commit to the Treaty Bilateral Table on Water and Related Infrastructure, signed with the Crown's representatives in December 2024, crucial in demonstrating Canada's genuine dedication to upholding Treaty obligations and improving infrastructure for our Peoples. Immediately acknowledge and fully implement First Nations inherent and Treaty rights to water, including jurisdiction over source water protection. Provide immediate, adequate, predictable, and sustainable funding to address the severe infrastructure deficit in First Nations water and wastewater systems. Engage in true nation-to-nation co-development of all legislation and policies impacting First Nations water rights, based on the principle of free, prior, and informed consent. The CSC demands concrete action and accountability to rectify this ongoing human rights crisis and uphold the sacred spirit of the Treaties for all First Nations Peoples. About the Chiefs Steering Committee The Chiefs Steering Committee on Technical Services (CSC) was established to provide oversight and direction to the First Nations Technical Services Advisory Group (TSAG). TSAG is a not-for-profit group to serve First Nations in Treaty 6, 7, and 8 across the Alberta region to support the interests and needs of First Nations, working together with Chiefs and technicians to address water, housing, health, education and infrastructure.

Row over J&K job quota report, Omar Abdullah calls out opposition's hypocrisy
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah defended the government's decision to send the Cabinet sub-committee (CSC) report on reservations in government jobs to the law department even as the opposition accused him of delaying tactics. After the report, a key poll promise of Abdullah, was tabled before the Cabinet, it was decided to send it to the law department."We constituted a cabinet sub-committee on the issue of reservations. It has been now sent to the law department. It is a part of the process. We can't bypass the process... My government has completed a few months. Ask me about my promises and performance after 5 years," Abdullah said as the opposition raised a hue and a the heart of the row lies a new reservation policy that was introduced by the J&K Lieutenant Governor before the Assembly election last year. The administration had quietly amended the J&K Reservation Act, 2005, to increase the quota for the reserved category in the state to 67% from 43%. This squeezed the reservation for the general category to 33%, prompting protests by students. To placate the students, Abdullah had announced a sub-committee to look into the issue and had said in December 2024 it would be resolved within six ACCUSES OMAR ABDULLAH OF DELAYPeoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Waheed Para said the delay in addressing the concerns of the protesting students was a "deliberate denial of justice"."Six months ago, the J&K government promised to resolve the reservation issue through a sub-committee report. That deadline has passed, leaving thousands of students heartbroken and disillusioned, their trust in the system shattered, and their futures put on hold," Waheed Para letter by Open Merit Students of Jammu and Kashmir to the Chief Minister said the development had left the students shattered and questioned the silence of the government on the implementation timeline. The students sought immediate review of reservations in J&K."If legal vetting was required, why was it not done earlier? Why wait until the last day?" the students MINISTER RESPONDSHitting back at the PDP and its chief Mehbooba Mufti and People's Conference leader Sajjad Lone, Abdullah accused them of double standards on the issue."When Mehbooba Mufti needed votes, she strictly banned her party members from even talking about reservation... When contesting elections from Anantnag and needing votes from Rajouri and Poonch, why did she not talk about reservation then?" ANI quoted the Chief Minister as saying."Sajjad Lone was close to the government for five years when all this was happening. We were evicted from our government houses, and our security was reduced, while he was sitting in a government house. Why did he not talk about the reservation then?" Abdullah further National Conference leader said if he indeed had to waste time, he would have given six more months to the sub-committee to submit the InMust Watch
