After combining the information from Wikipedia and from reading materials, I have some opinions about why the bias exists between aboriginal people and other settlers. The first reason is that government will provide a certain amount of alimony to first nation people, and the subsidization comes from the tax. White settlers are unwilling to pay great amount of tax to and they think that most first nation people who does not pay tax for real estate and medical insurances of some provinces are sluggish, contributing little to the development of economy. The aboriginal people have negative attitude towards white settlers because they are limited in the “reserved area”.
In terms of the effect the first nations issues will have on economy, I consider the effect mainly on labor. Canada has the problem of shortage of labor, so government encourages immigrating and spends huge amount of time and money on training the immigrants. However, many immigrates do not supply satisfactory service because of differences in culture and religion, and some immigrates prefer investing real estate rather than improve the development of industry.
The aboriginal people here, are human resources that worth investing. Over a half of population are young people for first nation people, and these people have highly sense of responsibility to protect environment and similar cultural background. If government transfer the money spent on immigrates’ training to aboriginal people for their professional skills, it can solve the problem of labor shortage and reduce immigration.
