Border crossing issues and the Jay Treaty / Standing Senate Committee on Aboriginal Peoples ; The Honourable Lillian Eva Dyck, chair ; The Honourable Dennis Glen Patterson, deputy chair.: YC28-0/421-3E-PDF
"This report, issued by the Standing Senate Committee on Aboriginal Peoples, outlines possible solutions to address border crossing challenges for First Nations communities that straddle Canada and the United States or that are close to the border. The Jay Treaty, signed in 1794 by representatives of the U.S. and British governments, guaranteed First Nations people permission to freely cross the border. While the committee heard the treaty has no practical application in Canada today, it provides a historical foundation for improved cross-border mobility"--Provided by publisher.
