Dear Mr. Helfinger

Re: Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018

The Anishinabek Nation is a political advocate for 40 member First Nations across Ontario representing approximately 60,000 citizens, one third of the province of Ontario’s aboriginal population.

As the Grand Council Chief for the Anishinabek Nation, it is my duty to advocate on behalf of our 40 member First Nations to ensure that the issues identified by our leadership are addressed.
The Anishinabek Nation has received mandates from our leadership to advocate for the protection of our lakes, our land, our children, our language, our culture and our treaty rights, among other things.
The Anishinabek Nation has completed a review of Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competiveness Act, 2018. We have identified various concerns that require your immediate attention. Please find attached a list of our concerns as well as recommendations for your review and consideration.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Please find this covering letter and the submission along with supporting Declaration "We Are the Land" in the attached files.

Sincerely,
Glen T. Hare (Gwiingos)
Grand Council Chief Anishinabek Nation
