Grand Chief of the AMC, Ron
Evans says that the partnership agreement
with HRMAM will enhance First
Nation employment opportunities in
the various occupations. I am very excited by the new agreement, Grand
Chief Evans says. This agreement
will benefit all Manitobans by addressing
the hurdles that face First Nation
individuals looking for employment.
Aboriginal people are the fastest growing
segment of Manitobas population
and represent a viable, made-at-home
solution to the issue of Baby Boomers
leaving the workforce. The AMC and HRMAM agreement represents a promise to work together to will exchange information. It is hoped that such an information exchange will educate human resource professionals about First Nation people, and First Nation people and communities will learn more about the value and function of the Human Resource profession. |

One of the major challenges to entering a partnership agreement is the commitment by some of partners to establish an accountability framework that consists of setting targets in the various occupational groupings. Another challenge with some of the agreements is the issue of redress in relation to Labour disputes, as AMC has no legal authority or mandate to address such complex issues.
