Scope and contentThis file contains a presentation by Donald Eastcott that summarizes his group's proposal relating to Aboriginal self-determination and self-government. Eastcott emphasizes that what is needed is "a new process of dialogue; complete with an aggressive public awareness campaign designed to bring people to full awareness and to predispose Canadians to take a responsible attitude." He also states that "there isn't much difference between a small business owner who is constantly haranguing government to get out of their business and out of their affairs and out of their pocketbooks and the issue of the Aboriginal people who are saying the same thing." A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation.
