Is the federal government slowly tightening the screws on financial accountability?

Tansi/Good Day Folks:

You have to wonder:

(1) Funding to the Aboriginal Council of Winnipeg is recently put on hold

(2) The Indian & Metis Friendship Centre's budget is cut

(3) www.CyberSmokeSignals.com hints the Manitoba Metis Federation is coming under increased financial scrutiny but doesn't elaborate

(4) Prime Minister Harper suggests his administration may not implement the Kelowna multi-billion dollar Aboriginal Accord negotiated earlier under Paul Martin and the Liberals

(5) The omnibus Financial Accountability Act finally receives Royal assent

with another federal election not far off are the Progressive Conservatives sending publicly funded Aboriginal organizations and others a not so subtle message?

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
