A Metis nurse who lost her job in a dispute over whether she was allowed to perform the same duties in urban and remote Native community clinics is going to court.

Joyce Atcheson, who lost her contract position with Fort McMurray clinic last

year, has filed a lawsuit against the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons.

"They have to be held accountable for their actions," Atcheson said in a telephone interview from the city 500 km northeast of Edmonton, where she has been working for the last four years.

The constitutional deadlock over Senate reform shouldn't be allowed to scuttle the tentative agreement on aboriginal self-government, Native leaders say.

"I'm not going to see aboriginal issues go down because of the Triple-E issue," Native Council of Canada president Ron George said.

Leaders from the four organizations representing Native concerns at the constitutional table met with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney last week on the eve of the latest round of talks between Ottawa and the provinces.

RCMP appeal delays inquiry

Page 1

The inquiry into the shooting death of a Native trapper by a white supremacist has been postponed while the RCMP appeals a ruling requiring them to testify in a provincial court.

The RCMP asked for special rights at the outset of the inquiry, fearing they could be forced to reveal the names of informants during police testimony. At that time the commission ruled the question was theoretical and refused to grant special privileges in advance.

The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal will hear the appeal Aug. 5. The inquiry is scheduled to resume Aug. 24.
