A more upbeat annual report from the BC Treaty Commission today.
Last year, chief commissioner Sophie Pierre said without signs of progress, the billion dollar enterprise might as well be shut down.
Today, Pierre says the parties listened.
“From that statement thankfully it appears that our message has gotten through because we have seen a more concerted effort in the last year that we had in the previous three years. Yes there’s still a long way to go, but at least we seem to be heading in the right direction.”
Pierre says the federal government has shown renewed commitment in the past year, but admits the entire treaty process could last another 20 years.
