520 |a"The Department of Indian and Northern Affairs, as one element in its overall mandate, is responsible for the administration and delivery of social assistance to registered Indians. A principal objective of the Social Assistance Program is to encourage the development of Indian community self sufficiency and social and economic prosperity. While this objective reflects a desirable policy ambition, increasingly the Registered Indian population and program administrators are concerned that intended expectations are not being fulfilled. Indeed, social assistance expenditures have expanded at an alarming rate, to the point where they now approach $100 million annually. Moreover, there is serious concern that few visible developmental benefits have resulted from the Program, despite the escalating demand for funds. Neither self-sufficiency nor economic well-being has evolved. Rather, adversity and income dependency appear more prominently as the results"--Introduction, p. [1].
