News conference held by Keith Penner, Progressive Conservative chair of the Special Committee on Indian Self-Government; Jim Manly, New Democratic Party committee member; Roberta Jamieson, Assembly of First Nations; Warren Allmand, Liberal committee member; Ray Chenier, Liberal committee member; Stan Schellenberger, Progressive Conservative committee member; and Frank Oberle, Progressive Conservative committee member. In an opening statement Penner highlights the following points and recommendations: the historical precedent; the capacity and desire for Indian self-government; recognition of the need for a distinct order of self-government for the Indian people by Canadian governments and the Canadian Constitution; transfer of funds to self-governing bodies; the issue of membership to a First Nation and the need for an adequate system of accountability. Questions are then fielded on: the radical and democratic nature of the self-government proposal; difficulties anticipated in getting it through Parliament; stages of Indian self-government; reactions of political parties and of provincial governments; a sample testimony demonstrating the urgent need to change Indian-White government relations; the extent of non-recognition of the Indian entity; and problems with current land claims. <52mn>
