Compensation wz TERRACE — The provincial government will. want some form of compensation for land and resources that could be used to settle native land claims, says its native affairs minister... Speaking last week, Weisgerber said that land and . resources fall. under provincial jurisdiction but that compensa- tion must come from the federal government because’ it has prime responsibility for native matters. ' “F think the province has to be compensated. Whether that actually means the buying the land has to be determined, * he said, Part of any compensation would have to take into account resource companies operating on the. lands under provincial licences .and tenures and revenues the province could ex- pect from their activities, Weisgerber added. The minister did concede that taxpayers will finance any com- pensation because it will mean payments from one government to the other. “It's a legitimate concern. But let me suggest that in set- tlements in the Yukon and the Northwest Territories, those models. involve the federal government and all taxpayers across the country pay. If in fact there will be money from federal: taxpayers, it will be spread across the country and that’s only fair,’’ said Weisgerber. Weisgerber was reluctant to Preston Manning Self gov't is first TERRACE — Less government bureaucracy means less goven- ment spending, says the leader of the Reform party. Preston Manning, on a recent tour of the northwesi, ad- yocates. cuts in government employees’ salaries, the elimina- tion of tax credits to political parties and a reduction in grants and subsidies to lobby groups and corporations. “The governments have been increasing their salaries while telling everyone else to tighten their belts,’' he said. ~-The Reform Party's ideas are part of a tradition of alternative political parties that are a part of the west’s political heritage, Manning said. **We should harness this ‘movement as a ‘vehicle to try ‘and change the federal system. If. the west used its 88 seats like Quebec uses its 75 we could wield a lot, of power.” The party’s supporters are concentrated. in the west with, according - to latest opinion polls, 25 — 28 per cent of the vote‘on ihe prairies, 58 per cent of Alberta and 16 per cent in B.C., Manning said. He added that the party is receiving interest from people in Atlantic Canada and some of the outlying areas of Quebec and Ontario where ‘they feel as alienated from central Canada as we do,”” . He says the Reform Party will be ‘run a‘candidate in the nor- ‘thwest and. in all western Canada ridings in the next federal election. _ UNICEF British — Columbia - 1-604-687-9096 outline any pre-conditions the . province will have in ap- proaching land claims ‘seitle- ment, saying more will be. released when. the province releases. its outline .of what should take place in several weeks, . “To suggest beforehand would just be adding grist to the mill,” he said. * Weisgerber did repeat earlier statements that the province re- WEDNESDAY : jects. the “concept of f aboriginal : -title'to land ‘and resources in ad- vance of any talks; . = . “One of the problems i in doing thet, said. Weisgerber, is that the definition. of - title means. dif- ferent things to different native groups. vs We can’t . recognize something that to date ‘isn’t - ' defined. We're asking gToups for definitions,” he said.:*'We want to get to the (negotiating) THURSDAY people; and non-Indian people ‘in B.C.," he said.
