Managing change : a proposal for restructuring the Resource, Economic and Employment Development (REED) Branch, Indian & Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) - B.C. Region / Lionel Munaweera.: R77-54/1985E-PDF

"Although what we are basically dealing with in this paper is a structural issue (ie. restructuring prior to phasing out), it has to be viewed primarily in a political context. In fact, economic development cannot be separated from political reality. Therefore, the political reality of Indian self-government applies as well to Indian control of Indian economic development. What this means is that Indian people must make the opportunity cost judgements related to the total development context of their communities. This paper lays out a proposed method and notional time frame (ie. minimum six years) for Indian people to be in total control of the economic development program in B.C. Region. However, it is up to the Indian people to determine if the proposed method and time frame are realistic and, through on-going review, determine if the process should be retarded (or even accelerated). This will depend to a great extent on the existence and ability of structures at the community level to take over as INAC hands over various components of its responsibilities"--Executive summary, p. 1.
