We have also observed individuals protesting, signing affidavits, slandering us, attempting major harm to us. These were the very people who unfairly received large amounts from the poor and social programs which the monies were intended for."The People JULY 8/05 |

$10 Million in debt since 1999
Mr. Gilles Bernier (Tobique—Mactaquac, PC): Mr. Speaker, members of the Tobique First Nation are fed up.
The department of Indian affairs transfers $13 million annually to the Tobique band council, yet the council has
recently run up a $10 million deficit. Over the past year many band members have met with me to show how the
council's mismanagement and the department's lack of accountability have prevented band members from realizing
the benefits of tax dollars.
Last year the band had to suspend medical services and lay off their nurse. At the same time, councillors voted to
raise their own pay to $1,000 per week. Cheques worth $152,000 were written without invoices, authorization or
approval. The council has violated every one of the remedial management plans it has signed with the department.
We must have self-government, but government money has to go toward solving the serious social problems at
Tobique instead of to band politicians and accountants. The members of the Tobique First Nation and I call upon
the minister to appoint a third party administrator for Tobique so we can get the band back on its financial feet and
help this community thrive.
