Regional Chief supports Ontario budget

The Ontario budget is getting a thumbs up from Ontario’s Regional Chief.  Isadore Day says the Wynne Liberals listened to the needs of First Nations and responded in key areas like health and justice.  The budget will ensure that First Nation police officers now have wage parity with their OPP counterparts.  It also improves the justice system on First Nations that take into account cultural and traditional ways of life for Aboriginal people. On the health side, $222-million is going to various First Nations to help with things like diabetes prevention and primary care.   Another provision in the budget removes the electricity delivery charge to homes on reserves.
