Question: What is the British Columbia Treaty negotiations process?

Answer: The governments of Canada and British Columbia (BC) and BC First Nations represented by the First Nations Summit are negotiating modern treaties under the British Columbia treaty process overseen by the BC Treaty Commission. By concluding treaties in BC, the parties seek to achieve certainty over ownership, use and management of land and resources, and to enhance economic opportunities for First Nations, British Columbians and all Canadians.
