Harper unveils sweeping land claims reform bill
Prime Minister Harper announced a revolutionary, co written land claims bill with the Assembly of First Nations aimed at speeding claims, funding 250 million annually for a decade, and creating an impartial tribunal to issue binding rulings if negotiations stall. Critics warn the government would appoint the judges, risking independence. Demonstrations and rail blockades are planned for June 29 as native leaders seek broader action.
