The BC Treaty Referendum was a province-wide referendum on First Nations treaty rights in British Columbia, Canada. In the spring of 2002 the Premier Gordon Campbell and the British Columbia Liberal Party government sent out ballots to registered voters in the province.〔("B.C. treaty referendum" ) - CBC, July 2, 2002〕 The referendum proposed eight principles that voters were asked to either support or oppose: ==Questions posed == 1. Private property should not be expropriated for treaty settlements. (Yes/No) 2. The terms and conditions of leases and licences should be respected; fair compensation for unavoidable disruption of commercial interests should be ensured. (Yes/No) 3. Hunting, fishing and recreational opportunities on Crown land should be ensured for all British Columbians. (Yes/No) 4. Parks and protected areas should be maintained for the use and benefit of all British Columbians. (Yes/No) 5. Province-wide standards of resource management and environmental protection should continue to apply. (Yes/No) 6. Aboriginal self-government should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia. (Yes/No) 7. Treaties should include mechanisms for harmonizing land use planning between Aboriginal governments and neighbouring local governments. (Yes/No) 8. The existing tax exemptions for Aboriginal people should be phased out. (Yes/No) Voters were also told that, for each principle, a Yes vote would compel the provincial government to adopt the principle in treaty negotiations, while a No vote would mean that the government was not bound to adopt the principle when taking part in treaty negotiations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「British Columbia aboriginal treaty referendum, 2002」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
