Short excerpts; open the official text to read the full remarks.
Committee of the Whole — Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act (continued)
As we’ve been talking about all the lands that are becoming treaty land, K’ómoks land, I’m wondering. As I look at it, it appears this way, but I think I want this on record as well. Are transportation and utility corrid…

Committee of the Whole — Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act (continued)
I noticed those in the appendices. I was wondering a little bit about that. The major highways, rail corridors and those things are excluded, which is good to know. The question is now as you get into more of the side r…

Committee of the Whole — Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act (continued)
I appreciate the minister’s answer on that just for clarity purposes. As I was reading through that, I didn’t notice that, so thank you for pointing that out. One of the challenges, one of the issues, of course, is goin…

Committee of the Whole — Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act (continued)

Something I wanted to say…. I asked the minister yesterday, with regards to lands, why they chose fee simple land rather than title land. The minister said it was a negotiation or a conversation which is confidential and…

I appreciate that, hon. Chair. You’re welcome to come visit Nechako Lakes sometime. It’s a beautiful area to come to. Great for fishing, for camping, for families. It’s an absolutely fabulous region of the province. I w…

Committee of the Whole — Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act (continued)
Earlier here we were just talking about the surveying and who covers the cost, whether it’s the province or the federal government or K’ómoks in terms of the surveying costs. I can remember in my days of being in this mi…

Committee of the Whole — Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act (continued)
Which I did a decade ago, and I will still continue to argue the case. Part of it is that I’ve actually gone through the old survey books from the late 1800s, early 1900s and gone and found corner posts and gone through…

Thank you for that, Minister. I’m just looking at one map here in particular, but I was looking through the other maps. It does say on the maps quite clearly “Crown corridor,” where we do have the roads and the rights-o…
