OUR
COMMUNITY,
OUR
TERRITORY,
OUR
RIGHTS
We
are
living
in
a
time
when
our
rights
are
finally
being
acknowledged
b y
the
highest
court
in
Canada.
No
longer
are
we
in
a
position
that
developers
and
government
must
simply
consult
with
us
they
need
our
permission
to
go
forward.
This
permission
will
not
be
given
u nless
our
Community
issues
are
addressed.
I
therefore
commit
to
ensure:
Every
development
project
in
our
traditional
territories
has
our
approval,
through
appropriate
Consultation
and
(if
required)
Accommodation
based
on
environmental
responsibility.
That
no
project
will
take
place
in
our
territory
without
our
approval
and,
for
projects
we
ultimately
approve
of,
the
benefits
of
employment
and
contracting
flow
to
our
members,
just
as
they
have
with
NB
Power.
That organizations who represent our community ensure our members benefit from any of their activities.
That
I
will
seek
to
set
up
a
Treaty
and
Aboriginal
Rights
Research
Center
at
our
Heritage
Gardens.
This
center
will
provide
the
funding
to
operate
the
building,
which
can
also
be
used
as
a
Community
Cultural
Resource
Center.
While
working
for
Government,
I
was
lead
on
the
Metepenagiag
Heritage
Park
project
and
I
know
how
to
make
this
happen.
