MUSHKEGOWUK COUNCIL

SUBJECT: FEDERAL HEALTH JURISDICTION

WHEREAS the Mushkegowuk Council adopted our own self government process known as "Partners in Change" in June 1989;

AND WHEREAS the Mushkegowuk Council is working with the Government of Canada regarding the improved delivery of health care services and programs;

AND WHEREAS in the 1990-91 Regional Medical Services Branch Report it appears that as the province gains an interest in native health affairs, federal jurisdic­tional boundaries and resources for the provision of Indian health services may become an issue;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Mushkegowuk Council does not accept further federal abrogation of responsibility in the area of health care without prior discussion with and agreement of Mushkegowuk First Nations;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mushkegowuk Council notify the Government of Canada of our intent to monitor and address this issue.
