AG - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, August 14, 1996 Nisga’a objections to dock won't receive special priority NISGA’A TRIBAL Council objections to the proposed in- stallatian of a stiff-leg and possible small dock in the Port- land Canal will be taken into consideration, but will not receive special priority, says a government official. The permit application was forwarded by fishing charter operators Ronald and Patricia McFadzan of Stewart. They want to install the stiff-leg and small dock as a starting point for a possible bed and breakfast operation on the canal that runs from the Pacific into Stewart, The Nisga’a Tribal Council objects to the proposal, saying the spot is too close io the Hattie Island fee simple site contained in its preliminary Jand claims deal signed earlier this year. The council also admits that it has its own economic plans for the area. But Ron Creber from the Ministry of. the Environment, Lands and Parks says that. the government is required to ‘take the Nisga’a concems into account when a decision is made regarding whether or nat to issue the permit “We are obliged to look into the Nisga’a concerns,’’ Creber says. ‘‘We are a signatory of the Agreement in Principle,’’ The Agreement in Principle lays the foundations for the final agreement on land claims between the provincial government and the Nisga’a. “The bottom line is that until the final agreement comes out, the Nisga’a want an interim protection measures agreement in place,”’ says Creber. ‘‘The one they had ex- pired. Now they want a new one.”” Creber insists that his ministry’s concern about the Nisga’a opposition is not unusual, and that the application is not being stalled. “Anything that comes back from the public will be taken into consideration,” he says. “The Nisga’a are just one of many interested partics,”’ Whatever the lands and parks ministry decides, it will likely be ground-breaking, This type of situation has not come up before. “This is new stuff —- the first treaty in 150 years,” says Creber, “‘There’s no clear government policy dealing with this issue yet. We have recognize that and work with it.”’ Meanwhile, the McFadzans are being cautiously op- limistic —- and patient. “‘[ know these things take a long time,” says Patricia McFadzan. ‘‘But I want everything to be done legally, not half-assed.” When you - ‘can't breathe, nothing else: ~ matters®: LUNG ASSOCTATION 731-LUNG or 41-800-665-LUNG + BRITISH COLUMBIA TW / HyPOWER SYSTEMS INC.
