The Regina Leader comments on Northwest Council discussions about verification of government actions. It highlights dissent over Riel and Indian affairs, noting council members' mixed signals on exonerating the government and the tone of a forthcoming address to the Lieutenant Governor.
In a tense debate, Mr. Perley defends his casting vote and criticizes the Government for delaying on key questions.
