Election plan loses federal support - Winnipeg Free Press:

Last week, a spokesman for Strahl said the minister will work with the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs to implement the changes, which include holding elections for chief and council on reserves in Manitoba on the same day on a four-year cycle, and introducing a First Nations electoral officer to oversee them.
