Land Fund

Canada and bc recognize that the lands offered may not meet all the interests of NStQ regarding lands. We have heard the NStQ communities express interests in a number of private properties, including ranches and other commercial properties. The Land Fund proposed would enable the NStQ to acquire, through a willing seller/willing buyer approach, some key lands that bc and Canada cannot offer. In recognition of NStQ interests in owning such key lands, bc and Canada propose a Land Fund of $12 Million (Q1 2009$) to be paid out in accordance with a schedule of payments to be negotiated.
For greater certainty, the $12 Million Land Fund is a component of the Capital Transfer and is in addition to the $30 Million capital transfer referred to above.
