Phil Goulais has strong opinions about the need to radically redesign Canada's flawed Additions-to-Reserve policy.

He knows the process well. Goulais is a respected former chief of Nipping First Nation, Grand Chief of the Robinson-Huron Territory and former Indian Commissioner of Ontario.

He has seen first-hand how Nations are hindered, even blocked from adding critical new land to their reserves – land needed for economic growth, new housing, cultural protection and many other kinds of development.

He spoke with host Richard Perry about his connection to the land and how the federal ATR policy is failing First Nations communities.
