| Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Commission Co-Chair Rene Dussault during the first public meeting of said Commission. Dussault discusses the importance of discussion, and listening in the Commission process. ÂWe know that many Aboriginal people are tired of being studied by others. They want to speak directly to us, and we want to hear from them. We want to hear their views of history and of what the future could or should hold for them. Similarly, we want to hear from the non-Aboriginal Canadians, who have not only a right, but an obligation to participate in this debate. They, too, have deep and genuine ties to this land and to many of the institutions and practices that are distinctly Canadian. They, too, have legitimate viewpoints on how their relationship with Aboriginal peoples should evolve over time. P. 40-41 Dussault also discusses demographic challenges, and the need to address stereotypes by promoting dialogue and public education. | |
