In getting this approval regional districts are often frustrated by delays of nine to- “Regional districts were ‘created to be the whipping boy because “the ‘Department of Andian Affaira always has. the last say.

He said thal they find it insulting . “thal everything dealing with Indians has to: be” funelled through the Department of the Minister of Human Resources, the “social welfare minister,” ministers concerned ‘with particular problems, even in the matter. .of - economic, develop- ment," Demarais said. : Demarais said that ‘local autonomy is the biggest desire of the local chiefs and councils. » Although the. ; chiefs . and , councils are elected," "he ‘sald, _ ‘they have no authority’_ Scott Wallace il through the route of various levels of the Department and ean be changed or held up at ‘any level."

The first people involved in mining, ‘the smail prospectors, have been forced - oul by a mass of red tape machinery which results in. total apathy.” John Stokes, appointed by the Angilcan Church as Liasen Officer on Northern Devalop- ment, expressed, ‘'The frustration of the people living - in the North at the retiscence of the government to inform the people about North West development.” He said that the avallable ‘are documents and the evidence “a what is already going on: the B,C, Rail construction, the start of a super sawmill near Burns Lake, the upgrading of high- ways, and the CNR plans.
