Honor thine commitments
From a story which moved on the CP wire on Friday:
In his opening remarks at the first national aboriginal women's summit, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams called on Ottawa to revive the Kelowna Accord, contending that the optimism that came with the $5-billion agreement has been lost.Danny Williams would know all about governments not fulfilling commitments to Aboriginal people, wouldn't he?
"The first ministers' meeting in Kelowna brought with it great hope for aboriginal communities. It is unfortunate that this hope has not been fully realized," said Williams, who is hosting the conference. "I once again would call upon the federal government to fulfil the commitments made at the historic meeting in Kelowna."
