Can Indians pleased with coverage TORONTO CP The 300 Indian chiefs who went to Brit ain last week to ask the Queen to block attempts to change the Canadian constitution got inter national media coverage for their cause the president of the National Indian Brotherhood said Tuesday We had the world as our stage Noel Starblanket said in an interview after news conference They the govern ment thought we couldnt de liver and we proved them wrong Starblanket said it now is up to Prime Minister Clark to en sure that Indians have voice in any revision of the Canadian constitution They have not been represented at con stitutional conferences so far The chiefs spent last week in London at their own expense to push their plea that the British Parliament hold up patriation of the British North America Act the Canadian constitution The British act cannot be patri ated or amended except by vote of the Parliament at West minster The group also sought an au dience with Queen Elizabeth but was turned down at the request of the Canadian government Starblanket said the next move in the political chess game with the Canadian gov ernment is threefold First he said he thinks meeting of brotherhood execu llt will be arranged this week Hlll tlnrk and Jake Epp min ister of Indian affairs and northern development on whether the Indians will have seat at the constitutional conference this fall seek invitations to both the So cialist International meetings in Stockholm Sweden July 20 21 and the Commonwealth conference in Lasaka Zambia Aug 18 Third plans are being pre pared to call 600 Indian chiefs together to lobby at the House of Commons MAKE CASE KNOWN Del Riley president of the Union of Ontario Indians said no date has been set but the meeting would make the case known to the MP5 He said the delegations at tempt to meet the Queen was symbolic gesture The fact that they werent granted an au dience didnt matter We accomplished our pur pose He said the mission was not an attempt to embarrass Clark into allowing Indians to have their rights entrenched in new constitution adding that he didnt understand why Clark would advise the Queen not to meet with the brotherhood My personal opinion is that it is another one of his blunders The association said it is in volved in developing code of ethics designed to ensure the confidentiality of health records and to prevent the use of undesirable practices in obtaining medical information NEED INFORMATION Life insurance companies have legitimate need for per sonal information on factors that may influence mortality costs the brief said At the same time they recognize the confidential nature of the per sonal information including health records in their files The association defended the industrys practice of classi fying individuals on the basis of their sex for the purpose of de termining the cost of life insur ance and life annuity benefits Policies issued by life insur ance companies should be ex empted from regulation under the Ontario Human Rights Code the association said We believe that human rights legislation should not be applied in such way as to pre vent the fair assessment of an insurance risk
