Title
Welcome to the BC Treaty Commission
Description
The Treaty Commission's operating budget for 2003/4 is $2.11 million and its total operating costs from 1993 to March 31, 2004 are $22,147,000. Canada funds 60 per cent of the Treaty Commission's operating budget, and BC funds 40 per cent. The federal government is responsible for 72 per cent of the total cost of treaties and the provincial government is responsible for 28 per cent.
The Treaty Commission is the independent and neutral body responsible for facilitating treaty negotiations among the governments of Canada, BC and First Nations in BC. The Treaty Commission does not negotiate treaties—that is done by the three parties at each negotiation table.
The Treaty Commission and the treaty process were established in 1992 by agreement among Canada, BC and the First Nations Summit. They are guided by those agreements and the 1991 Report of the BC Claims Task Force, which is the blueprint for the made-in-BC treaty process. The Treaty Commission and the six-stage treaty process were designed to advance negotiations and facilitate fair and durable treaties.
