1 5.3 To: From: Aboriginal Relations Committee Marino Piombini, Supervisor, Aboriginal Relations, Legal and Legislative Services Date: April 15, 2014 Meeting Date: April 30, 2014 Subject: New Relationship Agreements in British Columbia, RECOMMENDATION That the Aboriginal Relations Committee: a) receive for information the report, dated April 15, 2014, titled New Relationship Agreements in British Columbia, ; and b) recommend that the Board forward a letter to the Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation requesting that Metro Vancouver be consulted on New Relationship agreements within the region between the BC Government and First Nations prior to those agreements being finalized. PURPOSE To provide the Aboriginal Relations Committee with an information summary of New Relationship Agreements in British Columbia signed by the provincial and federal governments with BC First Nations between 2008 and BACKGROUND In the 2008 Memorandum of Understanding between the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) and the Province of British Columbia, which was renewed in 2012, the mandate of treaty advisory committees and local government Aboriginal relations committees was expanded and led to the creation of New Relationship agreements. New Relationship agreements are intended to bolster First Nation lands, resource and economic development opportunities as well as enhance social and cultural initiatives in Aboriginal communities throughout British Columbia. The New Relationship was also intended to provide more opportunities for local government input and consultations on Aboriginal issues and initiatives. Since 2008, the Province has made data available on New Relationship agreements and on the accomplishments involving the Government of British Columbia, Aboriginal groups and/or third parties. Examples of these quarterly summaries are provided in Attachments 1 and 2. The agreements and accomplishments are divided into two categories one list includes lands, resources and economic development while the other list covers social initiatives. Both lists are grouped by sector within the identified geographic region. The reports are published quarterly and sent to key partners and stakeholder groups for information and further distribution. Aboriginal Relations Committee - 42

2 Metro Vancouver staff has tabulated these summaries over the past six years (Attachment 3); the results are briefly analyzed in this information report. This report was presented for information to the Municipal Technical Advisory Committee (MTAC) on Aboriginal Relations at its meeting on March 19, DISCUSSION Since 2008, there have been 751 New Relationship agreements in British Columbia, with the majority of these agreements (423 or 56%) addressing social initiatives. The total financial commitments made by the Province (93%) and Canada (7%) total $1.93 billion over the past six years. The majority of the 751 agreements (463 or 62%) were made in the first three years ( ), with 2008 having been the year with the highest total number of agreements signed (186). The fewest agreements were signed in The majority of financial commitments for all agreements, in terms of dollars, were also made in those first three years ($1.22 billion or 64%). Over 30% of the total funding (or $585.8 million), for lands, resources and economic development as well as social initiatives, was made in The average financial commitment (in dollars) per New Relationship agreement over the past six years is $2.57 million, with the highest average recorded in 2009: $3.425 million per agreement. It should be noted that these figures do not take into consideration the value of all lands in landrelated agreements or contributions and commitments made by third parties, such as foreign governments. Also not included are the financial commitments that are made, on an ongoing basis, by the federal and provincial governments to First Nations in British Columbia. The key Lands, Resource and Economic Development sectors that have benefitted from these agreements over the past six years are: Lands and Resources (96 of the 328 agreements, or 29%) and Forestry (26%). The key sectors generating the most agreements under Social Initiatives are: Education (96 of the 423 agreements, or 23%), Employment and Training (20%) and Culture and Heritage (19%). Since the inception of New Relationship agreements in 2008, the Province has committed 29 of the 328 Lands, Resources and Economic Development agreements (or 8.8%) within the Lower Mainland area (which includes the Fraser Valley). In terms of dollars, 10.7% of Lands, Resource and Economic Development agreements were targeted for the Lower Mainland. By comparison, 16.5% of the 423 Social Initiatives agreements (or 70 agreements) were committed to the Lower Mainland area. The Lower Mainland area received 19.7% of the funding dollars for Social Initiatives. ALTERNATIVES 1. Receive the report, dated April 15, 2014, for information, and recommend that the Board forward a letter to the Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation requesting that Metro Vancouver be consulted on New Relationship agreements within the region between the BC Government and First Nations prior to such agreements being finalized. 2. Provide alternative direction to staff. Aboriginal Relations Committee - 43

3 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Between 2008 and the end of 2013, the report reveals that there have been a total of 751 New Relationship agreements signed in BC, totaling nearly $2 billion. Of these agreements, 99 of them have been committed to First Nations within the Lower Mainland area. Although local governments were to have been notified of such agreements being negotiated within their respective regions prior to their finalization in order to provide local government with the opportunity to provide comments, such notifications have not occurred. Local governments only receive quarterly summaries of agreements that have already been signed and committed to by the provincial and federal governments. Under Alternative 1, the report sent to the provincial government serves to raise the issue with the Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation that local governments are not being notified in advance of New Relationship agreements being finalized. Under Alternative 2, the Committee may wish to provide alternative direction to staff, including the option not raising this matter with the Minister at this time. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION This report presents a summary of New Relationship agreements in British Columbia between 2008 and Although the New Relationship was intended to provide more opportunities for local government input and consultations on Aboriginal issues and initiatives, Metro Vancouver has neither been advised, nor consulted by the Province on any of the agreements signed to date with First Nations in the Lower Mainland area. Alternative 1 is, therefore, recommended. Attachments: 1. New Relationship: Lands and Resources and Economic Development Initiatives. Fourth Quarter: New Relationship: Social Initiatives.
