The Regina Leader-Post reports that FSIN

The Regina Leader-Post reports that the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations is not pleased with the province’s budget, saying the organization is disappointed that there wasn’t more in it for First Nations youth. Vice-President Morley Watson told the paper that the FSIN wanted investments that would have trained up the young labor force and prepare them for work. There was also no word on resource revenue sharing, a drum the FSIN has been banging more loudly over the past year. From the
province’s perspective, however, there were increases made to funding for First Nations and Métis to the tune of 2.8 per cent or $4.7 million. Minister of First Nations and Métis Relations Ken Cheveldayoff said Aboriginal people in the province are very much a part of the “Saskatchewan
Advantage.”
