The Conservative Party believes the following principles should govern the administration of existing federal Aboriginal programs: a) the need for a legislated framework for federal aboriginal expenditures; b) self government – legal and democratic authority; c) transparency; d) respecting the Canadian constitutional framework; e) a framework for the settlement of comprehensive claims and self government agreements; f) the resolution of existing specific claims and lawsuits against the federal Crown; g) Economic Sustainability The Conservative Party supports provisions for property ownership and women’s equality on reserves. These principles should also govern future legislative reform to the Indian Act and related legislation. They should also form the basis for government decision making in the resolution of rights disputes – whether based upon existing treaties, court decisions or section 35 of the Constitution Act.
