Presentation to Cabinet Committee on
Policy & Planning in Fredericton Aug 19,
1998
"This presentation of ours is not a Donald
Trump venture worth hundreds of millions
of dollars. It is not a major Sheraton Casino
of which
"profits will enrich individuals."
This is a First Nation gaming project which
will be housed in a modern facility, of
smaller dimensions, and which will be
managed for seven years by a native
gaming corporation reputed all over the
United States and certified by the
American authorities. Employees will be
trained professionally after having been
selected through a very demanding
process.
This gaming project of ours will provide the
native and non-native people of our area
with jobs, and the profits will be used by
our community to
"improve the well being of
everyone: our schools will be
better, our community store will be
more attractive as a public facility,
our run down municipal building will
be replaced, our church will be
renovated,"
our water and sewage system upgraded,
our wellness center will be hiring a more
professional staff."
