The governments of Canada and B.C. presented a joint settlement offer to Tsay Keh Dene Band on March 8. The offer integrates many areas of agreement already reached by parties and establishes other areas in need of resolution. Tsay Keh Dene is the ninth First Nation to receive a joint offer from Canada and B.C. Canada and BC released a draft consultation agreement in principle at the Snuneymuxw treaty table on February 12.
Negotiations continue to reach agreement on cash and treaty settlement land.
The BC government tabled its vision of what a joint counter-proposal with Canada to Tsawwassen First Nation would look like. The presentation responds to comprehensive proposals made by Tsawwassen in July 1999 and 2000. In October 2000, Lheidli T'enneh Band tabled a counter-proposal to the federal and provincial offer made August 2000. In December 2000, Lheidli T'enneh signed two interim measures with the provincial government.
