When do they vote. What’s the. cost. What to put 'Skeena Mall, Terrace» *GINGERBREAD » AVHOUSE nn "635-5236 bring in a correct, puzzle and recelve a FREE Growing Sea Life (Contest open on the ballot,”’ said Campbell. “Tr’s one of those things that re- quires a lot more work than what first appears.’ The Liberal leader instead pre- fers having proposed settlements be the subject of full public hear- ings before the provincial legisla- ture. Only after those hearings are held would legislators vote on ac- ceptance of specific settlements. That way, Campbell continued, common principles for claims setilements across the province can be included in treaties. Land claims referenda are a key part of the Reform parly’s policy on settlements, And Campbell's statements on referenda seem to agree with those of the NDP government While most people expect setilemenis to be ratified in some fashion by natives, the NDP says it won't be holding votes among non-native people. Dodge Caravan/ Plymouth Voyager Gordon Campbell The government’s position was taken up last week by Skeena NDP MLA Helmut Giesbrecht in commenting on the Reform policy. “How would the boundaries be defined and who would voie when the entire province pays the cost of any compensation and the entire province owns the troWwn land which could become part of a settlement,’’ Giesbrecht asked. He also criticized the Reform policy on referenda, saying it ap- pears to have changed. “In the debate on the Nisga’a land claims, the impression has ‘always been left by the Reform politicians that the non-native population of the entire region Helmut Giesbrecht should get a vote on any settle- ment,” said Giesbrecht. But sow, he continued, Reformer leader Jack Weisgerber seems to suggest that non-natives . will vote only in the specific are covered by a claims settlement, ‘About 250 non-native resi- dents five in the traditional Nisga'a claim territory. Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert are not included,”’ said Giesbrecht. “According to Weisgerber’s explanation, only the 250 would vote on the = referendum. Presumably anly half of them (125 plus one) would be required. to scuttle any deal or endorse it even though the entire province is © © represented at the talks,” the MLA continued. i 24T Package includes: e Standard front dual air bags Air conditioning ¢ passenger seating Standard side impact beams Automatic transmission V6 engine AM/FM stereo Power liftgate release Front wheel drive Roof rack and more oS Which two children have the same buckets?
