E/CN.4/2005/88/Add.3 page 3 enjoy their human rights. So does the elimination of discrimination and racism of which they are still frequently the victims. In some cases, taking advantage of development possibilities, Aboriginal people have established thriving business enterprises. Much more needs to be done to provide such opportunities to all Aboriginal communities in the country in order to raise employment and income levels. The Special Rapporteur concludes his report by a number of recommendations intended to help the concerned parties bridge the existing gaps and consolidate the achievements obtained by Aboriginal peoples so far. The Special Rapporteur recommends, inter alia, that new legislation on Aboriginal rights be enacted by the Parliament of Canada, as well as provincial legislatures, in line with the proposals made by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples; that Convention No. 169 of the International Labour Organization concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries be ratified promptly, in consultation with Aboriginal peoples; that it be clearly established in the text and spirit of any agreement between an Aboriginal people and a government in Canada that no matter what is negotiated, the inherent constitutional rights of Aboriginal peoples are inalienable and cannot be relinquished, ceded or released; that an evaluation of the new self-government agreements be undertaken; that the Government intensify its measures to close the human development gaps between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians in the fields of health care, housing, education, welfare and social services; that emergency measures be taken to address the critical issue of high rates of diabetes, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS among Aboriginal people; that Aboriginal suicide be addressed as a priority social issue; that the Government address with high priority the elimination from existing legislation of provisions that place certain categories of First Nation women at a disadvantage; that section 67 of the Human Rights Act be stricken; that the Canadian Human Rights Commission be mandated to deal with the human rights of First Nations; and that efforts be increased at all levels to reduce and eliminate the overrepresentation of Aboriginal men, women and children in detention.
