May Try to Form New Division in Manitoba
Camperville parents of about 40 students plan to create a separate school division with Duck Bay and Pine Creek, submitting their proposal to Education Minister Ben Hanuschak by May 15. They reject negotiations with Winnipegosis Collegiate, citing past problems and deem Winnipegosis secondary education impractical. A temporary Camperville school was set up after 23 students were suspended last month.

Government pledges to honor treaties with Indian bands
Indian Affairs Minister Jean Chretien told the Commons committee the federal government will honor all treaty promises not yet fulfilled and rejects renegotiating treaties. He cited the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and explained that only non treaty Indians retain land claims, while Aboriginal rights as defined by the National Indian Brotherhood would require broader renegotiation. Tom Barnett urged renegotiation, while Flora MacDonald pressed for simple recognition of aboriginal rights.
