PETITION

WHEREAS: The election of March 18, 2016 is under appeal in the Federal Court of Canada, and;

WHEREAS:The Application is not filed against the Red Pheasant First Nation. It is filed against the individual chief and councillors in their individual capacity.

We the undersigned demand:

  • that no Red Pheasant Band monies be used to pay for the legal defense of Chief and Council as this is not a legal action against the Band, it’s against the individual members of Chief and Council.
  • If the appeal fails then reasonable legal fees may be reimbursed to members of Chief and Council for the appeal process only if a majority of band members at a duly convened general band meeting so agree.
  • Notice for that general band meeting must be made in writing and delivered to each household and each off reserve band member no later than one month in advance of the meeting.

Stop wasting our money on your own personal problems. This should come out of your own pockets not ours.

Inequality is a major barrier within the community and this is not fair by any means. Leadership should not be there to abuse their power but to invest what is good for all Red Pheasant band members. If there is one thing I have learned by being entrusted to leadership, it is to give equal opportunities to all individuals, represent my fellow peers to the best of my abilities and to be a voice and advocate for all regardless of what side of the community they live, or what family they come from. Equality and transparency benefits all those who struggle to trust the people who are in a position to bring changes. This is to help our people out of poverty and to help our community grow and prosper.

Ridiculous that they think they can use our money for this. Pay your own bills. Simple as that.

About time someone stood up to this nonsense. We are tired of being broke while the council lives like kings off band funds.
