Government and politics matter. It is time for First Nations, Inuit and Métis people to make their voices heard. The NDP is the only federal political party that puts social justice first. We are ready and willing to listen and to act on what we hear. This is a tremendous opportunity to make a real, positive difference on behalf of Aboriginal people across the country.
5-05-13 Resolution on Idle No More, submitted by the Aboriginal Peoples Commission.
WHEREAS years of inaction and broken promises from successive liberal and conservative government has led to severe social injustice and shocking poverty in too many communities

BE IT RESOLVED that the New Democratic Party continues to work towards building a new relationship on a nation-to nation basis with First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that the NDP engages with grassroots Aboriginal activists who are calling on the government of Canada to repeal legislation like omnibus bill C-38 and C-45 that diminishes environmental protections of land and water and affect Aboriginal and Indigenous rights and title
Motion passed.
