Mulcair: NDP government would implement resource revenue sharing with Indigenous nations – APTN

October 16, 2015

NDP leader Tom Mulcair says his government would implement resource revenue sharing agreements with Indigenous nations modeled on the 1975 agreement struck between Quebec, the Cree and the Inuit in that province.

Mulcair said, if elected, an NDP government would ensure all major resource development projects would include resource revenue sharing with the Indigenous nations that are impacted by the project.

Mulcair said he sees the 1975 Paix des Braves agreement signed over the massive Hydro-Quebec James Bay hydroelectric project. The agreement, which has been modified over a dozen times since then, was signed between Quebec, the Cree and the Inuit in northern Quebec.
