In brief, in the west your pension is securely funded. In Ottawa, it is paid with more borrowed money. Take your choice. These can never be settled while Ottawa and the provinces have competing jurisdiction. They will also never be properly settled on a tribal basis.
Tribalism is against our view of the nation equal rights for all, special privileges for none.
Each native person should be offered reasonable compensation by a Western Canadian government, once and for all. No more reserves, tribal lands, or special rights based on race or status should be created as this inevitably leads to ghettoization, conflict and destruction of individual initiative as well as breaking down the cultural unity of the nation. All natives should be content to become full and equal citizens, no more, no less. We must preserve and protect our environment. This one area is a justifiable interest for the state.
