One thing is for certain, I am sure we could count on one hand, if at all, the number of times the word “accountability” is mentioned in the Nisga'a agreement. The money will not be given to all Nisga'a people. It will be given to a handful who may or may not share the benefits equally.
Could the minister please explain how placing this land and money in the hands of a few will benefit the greater population?
