AMC RESPONDS TO 2024-25 FED BUDGET RE: BUDGET CUTS
The anticipated cuts of $416 million over the next three years to Indigenous Services Canada and Crown-Indigenous Relations are deeply concerning for the AMC and all First Nations in Manitoba. These cuts, which include reductions in bureaucratic inefficiencies, travel expenses, consulting fees, and some grants and contributions, could threaten critical programs such as Jordan’s Principle. Grand Chief Cathy Merrick emphasizes the need for the current government to prioritize the needs of First Nations in budget allocations, particularly in light of the forecasted decrease in spending on essential services and programs.
