TERRACE — The provincial - “government says it wants to set- : the land claims but has yet toan- -

“fair, balanced, and affordable.” Ts He répeated earlier provincial

positions that the. federal government ‘has the - primary

can negotiate land claims, says -

NDP leader Mike Harcourt,

In a letter to news outlets last week, Harcourt said such recognition would not reduce the provincial government’s bargaining power during negotiations, .

Harcourt agrees with the pro-
