Ask an Expert: Roy Francis Coming to Tsulquate to Talk Treaty

Over the years we have had many community meetings about the Treaty process

that our community is in. Considering that we have been in negotiations for over a

decade, that is a lot of meetings and a lot of information, and still sometimes

community members feel that they don't know enough about what the Treaty could

do to and for our community. There have been requests in the past to bring in

someone who comes from a community that has been through the Treaty process

already.

Well, at the May 7 community celebration, you will have the chance to talk to

someone who's been there! Roy Francis, Chief Negotiator for the Sliammon First

Nation, who recently signed on to their Treaty, is coming to Tsulquate to answer

our questions and speak about his experiences. At the GN Council retreat a few

months ago Roy came and spoke to Council about the Sliammon Treaty experience.

He is very down to earth, and straightforward with his answers, and we are looking

forward to hosting him in our community!

In other Treaty news, we have just applied for three more TRMs, or Treaty Related

Measures. The projects we are hoping to undertake in 2014/15 are: moving forward

with the Ba'as Reconstruction; starting the Gwa'sala territory village reconstruction

process, at a location to be determined by the community, and; some more work

around governance and our constitution. It has been great to see so many

community members coming out to TRM meetings in the last few months.

Gila'kasla,

Colleen Hemphill

Chief Negotiator

Economic Development Update

Thank you for your continued interest in the workings of our economic development corporation. In this

week’s update we get into some of the drier and less exciting parts, unless something goes wrong than

these items get really important and a lot less dry!! Let us talk about liability, taxation, own source

revenue, and how these items can and will impact you.

Liability: Can be defined as “an obligation, debt or responsibility owed to someone.” It can also be defined

as the likelihood that something might happen, or what kind of handicap that might hold us back. We are

setting up our businesses in legal limited companies to take potential liability issues away from harming

the community. The other piece to protecting the communities’ assets is to have appropriate insurance in

place in case something went wrong. One consequence of liability is that if the Nations are found to be

liable for something happening, they could lose some of their assets if a law suit is successful against the

Nations. By having the appropriate companies in place with appropriate insurance, we can limit the

potential for negative outcomes and help to create positive results.

Taxes: Oh yes the dreaded tax man!! As our companies start to be profitable we will be looking at all legal

means possible to limit the amount of taxes that we may have to pay. By having our LTD. companies in

place and paying the profits back to the Nations through a “Master Limited Partnership” we can limit (try

to make it zero dollars) the amount that may have to be paid in taxes. We have hired MNP, which is a

large accounting and tax firm, to help us understand all of the latest tax law decisions and help the

Nations with the best possible set-up. This is work that will always be developing over time.

Own Source Revenue (OSR): This topic is one that draws fear and resentment out of a lot of First Nations

Communities. I would like to make it clear that this concept really comes into play in the Treaty Process.

It is the GNN economic development corporation’s mandate to create businesses that will help to support

all of the Nations’ infrastructure and program needs into the future. The more profits that our companies

generate, the less potential tax burden may be placed on community members (through taxes) in the

future. Remember that this is all post treaty. Some of the work that the federal and provincial

governments do leading up to the final treaty is to look for and acknowledge how much money the

Nations have generated in Own Source Revenue. With this understanding, the governments may start to

take away some of the base funding that the Nations receive through annual funding agreements. The

government usually structures a clause into the base funding agreement that will show how OSR will

replace base funding over a certain timeframe (usually five years) Therefore, strong and profitable GNN

companies will help to support Nations programs well into the future. The more profitable the companies

are, the less future taxes individuals will have to pay.

Please be aware that we will have opportunities in the near future to discuss these concepts at

community meetings as well as in the Treaty meetings that will be happening.

It is very important to note that economic development does not create jobs; businesses create jobs, and

economic development creates businesses which create jobs. The better the business is run the more it can

support the communities desire to be self-sufficient.

In our next installment we will discuss how all of this fits together and what the community can expect as

we start to run these companies.

Cooking Classes, Good Food Bags, and a Big Change

Hi Everyone,

Last week Andrea and I facilitated a healthy cooking class at the Elders Center. Five people showed up

and we had lots of fun cooking together and sharing a delicious and healthy meal. We made

mediterranean chicken, with spinach/broccoli pasta and for dessert we made baked apples with frozen

yoghurt. Everyone loved how easy and delicious these meals were, and the best part was that they were

healthy! We asked the participants what they would like to learn to cook in the future classes and they

said the following:

Healthier versions of what they already cook (ie: Spaghetti with more veggies snuck in)

Tips and tricks to make cooking easier

How to make healthy versions of restaurant favorites at home (ie: chinese food, pizza and pastas)

If you’re interested in coming to the next cooking class you can sign up at the Band Office reception. The

date of the next class is to be determined; we’ll announce the date on Facebook or in the Yo! News, and

those that have signed up will be notified via text.

Last Friday was Good Food Bag Day and we had 10 more people sign up for the program. If you’re

interested in getting a good food bag, you can sign up and pay at the Band Office Reception. If you’re on

SA, you can sign a form requesting your SA be deducted the $10 for the GFB. Good Food Bag pickup day

is next Friday from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, and payment is due by Thursday, April 17th. See the calendar on the

next page*

May 16th, 2014, is my last day of work for The Band. I’m getting married the following week, and then I’m

off on vacation and then moving to Vancouver to work on my Dietetics degree at the University of British

Columbia. I’m sad to be leaving the community, but I’m excited about my new adventure.

We are posting the Food Security & Nutrition position until Friday April 25th, 2014. Interviews will be on

Monday April 28th. I will be working with whomever is hired until May 16th to ensure they are

comfortable in all areas of the Food Security & Nutrition program, including: the Good Food Bag

program, community garden, food pavilion, working with the Elders, food gathering trips, etc. It is very

important for the person in this role to live a healthy lifestyle and be a good role model.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Keep well
