The Federal Government is bringing in legislation to make hundreds of First Nations across Canada release the salaries of their Chiefs and band councillors.
The Winnipeg Free Press said in a report out of Ottawa that Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan will speak to the details of the bill at a news conference today in Saskatoon.
The legislation brings back to life a bill from a Saskatchewan Tory backbencher that died when the election was called last March.
Kelly Block's bill required First Nations to include details of chief and councillors salaries and reimbursements for expenses in annual audited financial statements.
