Project: Distribution of Total Allowable Catch when Total Allowable Catch falls below YFNs' basic needs allocation for the Yukon River Drainage Basin

Responsible Party:

Canada

Participant/Liaison:

Salmon Sub-Committee ("SSC") and affected YFNs

Obligations Addressed:

16.10.9 Where the Total Allowable Catch is less than what is required to satisfy the basic needs allocations of Yukon First Nations within the Yukon River drainage basin, the Total Allowable Catch shall be distributed among the affected Yukon First Nations on a pro rata basis proportional to their share of the total basic needs allocation for that drainage basin.

16.10.13 Where:

16.10.13.1 a Total Allowable Catch is less than the total basic needs allocation in a season for the affected Yukon First Nations, and it is subsequently determined that the spawning escapement targets for Conservation were greater than was actually required for Conservation in that season; or

16.10.13.2 subject to an agreement entered into pursuant to 16.10.8, Government allocates Salmon to other fisheries which results in there being insufficient Salmon available to a Yukon First Nation to harvest its basic needs allocation for a drainage basin,

Government shall, in subsequent years, allocate additional Salmon to the affected Yukon First Nations, in proportion to their share of the total basic needs allocation, from any Salmon which are not required for Conservation for that drainage basin, so that, over a six year period, the Yukon First Nations are allocated, on average, their total basic allocation.

Cross Referenced Clauses: 16.10.8

Responsibility	Activities	Timing
Canada	If the Total Allowable Catch is less than what is required to satisfy the basic needs allocation, distribute the available Total Allowable Catch among the affected YFNs on a pro rata basis proportional to their share of the total basic needs allocation.	As required once the drainage basin basic needs allocation is established
Canada	If conditions identified in 16.10.13 occur, make necessary increases to each affected YFN's annual allocation in order that after a period of no more than six years each YFN's average annual basic needs allocation is met.	Over a period of the next 6 years

Planning Assumptions:

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans ("DFO") will assume the lead role for Canada.
Where inaccurate pre-season or in-season Total Allowable Catch determinations result in an inability to meet the basic needs allocation for the drainage basin and other commercial and sport fisheries have harvested Salmon, Government will subsequently adjust the affected YFN's annual basic needs allocations. The intention would be to provide for that adjustment within the Total Allowable Catch established for the following year if it is reasonable to do so.
Where the in-season Total Allowable Catch is less than what is required to satisfy the basic needs allocation of a YFN pursuant to 16.10.9 in any one year for any other reason than those described in 16.10.13, no adjustment of that YFN's basic needs allocation will be made.
Government will make best efforts to refer these issues to the SSC for their consideration and input prior to making a determination pursuant to this clause.
A temporary reduction or cancellation of commercial or other fisheries may be required in order to allow Government to allocate the necessary additional fish to the YFN's basic needs allocation fishery.
Precise determinations of spawning escapement cannot be made with existing DFO management practices; therefore, determinations pursuant to 16.10.13.1 may be difficult to assess. In recognition of this difficulty, and consistent with clause 16.10.8 every effort will be made in the setting and allocation of the annual Total Allowable Catch to meet the requirements of the YFN's basic needs allocations for the drainage basin before allocating Salmon to other users.

SSC	In cooperation with affected YFNs, review available information.	As soon as practicable
SSC	Reallocate a portion of the downstream YFN's allocation to the upstream YFN if appropriate.	As required
SSC	Notify affected YFNs and implement decision, subject to 16.8.9.	As required

Planning Assumptions:

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans ("DFO") will assume the lead role for Canada.
Canada will provide the technical information and support available to it in order to assist the SSC in making a determination pursuant to this clause.
Management information currently available to the DFO may not, in all cases, be adequate to determine conclusively that the over-harvesting by a downstream YFN resulted in the unavailability of sufficient salmon for an upstream YFN to meet its basic needs allocation.

The May 15 and July 2nd dates referenced in the timing for activities above are deadlines established in the current Assessment and Taxation Act, R.S.Y.. 1986, c. 10, for the issuance of tax notices and payment of taxes, respectively. Similarly, the February 15 date referenced is the deadline established in the current Home Owners Grant Act , R.S.Y.. 1986, c. 84, for filing applications for Yukon homeowner's grants in respect of the preceding taxation year. These dates may be subject to change from time to time.

As part of the process of applying for the homeowner's grant, the LSCFN will sign a declaration concerning eligibility of properties for the homeowner's grant.
Formulas for Calculation of Property Taxation Assistance: If the Effective Date of the LSCFA falls on a day other than January 1, the following formulas will be used to calculate the amount of assistance to be paid for each of the ten years for which property taxation assistance is to be paid. The amount of property taxation assistance provided for each of the ten years will be in respect of portions of two calendar years, calculated as follows:
- X = the number of days in the calendar year from January 1 up to and including the day prior to the Effective Date or the anniversary thereof;
- Y = the number of days remaining in the calendar year, from the Effective Date or anniversary thereof to December 31, inclusive; and,
- T = the amount of the property taxes paid by LSCFN for that taxation year minus the homeowner's grant received by LSCFN for that year.
Assistance
- YEAR 1: (T x Y/365) x 100% = _________
- YEAR 2: (T x X/365) x 100% + (T x Y/365) x 90% = _________
- YEAR 3: (T x X/365) x 90% + (T x Y/365) x 80% = _________
- YEAR 4: (T x X/365) x 80% + (T x Y/365) x 70% = _________
- YEAR 5: (T x X/365) x 70% + (T x Y/365) x 60% = _________
- YEAR 6: (T x X/365) x 60% + (T x Y/365) x 50% = _________
- YEAR 7: (T x X/365) x 50% + (T x Y/365) x 40% = _________
- YEAR 8: (T x X/365) x 40% + (T x Y/365) x 30% = _________
- YEAR 9: (T x X/365) x 30% + (T x Y/365) x 20% = _________
- YEAR 10: (T x X/365) x 20% + (T x Y/365) x 10% = _________
- YEAR 11: (T x X/365) x 10% = _________

Annex B - Commissions, Councils and Committees

Application

This Annex applies as provided herein to the:

Regional Land Use Planning Commission
Settlement Land Committee
Carmacks Renewable Resources Council
hereinafter called the "Boards".

This Annex has five parts:

Part 1 - General Provisions
Part 2 - Board Training and Cross-Cultural Orientation and Education
Part 3 - Arrangements for the Provision of Aboriginal Language Services to the Boards
Part 4 - Board Mandates and Activities
Part 5 - Board Budgets and Related Arrangements.

These parts, as they apply, are to be read together. Their provisions reflect the agreement of the Parties with respect to the establishment and operation of the Boards, and the related arrangements and activities which the Parties expect to perform in those connections.

Part 1 - General Provisions

Initial Nominations and Appointments
Renewable Resources Council

Each party has a right to nominate Carmacks Renewable Resources Council ("RRC") members as provided by the LSCFA in paragraph 2.12.2, 16.6.2 (all), 16.6.4 (all) and 16.6.5.

The process of nomination and appointment will require each party to identify, recruit and select nominees in an effective manner. The procedures and criteria to be used in that respect are within the discretion of the nominating party.

To establish the initial complement of RRC members, each party should commence its procedures to identify prospective nominees upon ratification of the LSCFA by all Parties. The Minister will request nominations pursuant to LSCFA 2.12.2.2 as soon as practicable after the date of signing by the Parties.

Nominations, including a statement of the initial term for which a particular nomination may be made (LSCFA 2.12.2.11), shall be forwarded to the Minister within the time provided by 2.12.2.2. The Minister will appoint the nominees in sufficient time for the RRC to be in place as indicated in Part 4 of this Annex.

To facilitate these procedures, each party should confirm that its proposed nominees are ready to serve on the RRC prior to submitting its nominations to the Minister. If a nominee declines an appointment, the Minister and the nominating party should take steps as soon as practicable to ensure that a new nominee is identified and appointed.

Initial Nominations and Appointments
Regional Land Use Planning Commission and
Settlement Land Committee

The initial nominations and appointments for the Regional Land Use Planning Commission ("RLUPC") and Settlement Land Committee ("SLC") will be made as provided in Part 4 of this Annex.

On-Going Process for Nominations and Appointments -- Carmacks Renewable Resources
Council and Regional Land Use Planning Commission

1. Replacement of Board Members

Upon termination of the initial appointments, the Parties should follow the procedures outlined in LSCFA 2.12.2.2 to 2.12.2.4 and above, in respect of the initial appointments, to ensure that repeat or replacement nominations are submitted and appointments take effect in a timely manner. The Parties should use best efforts to avoid vacancies arising on the Boards due to failures in the nominating or appointing process.

If a vacancy during term arises on a Board, the Parties should follow the same procedures to ensure that a replacement nominee is appointed at the earliest practicable date for a term consistent with the provisions of LSCFA 2.12.2.11.

2. Removal for Cause

The authority to remove a Board member lies with the appointing Minister. It is acknowledged that the Minister will choose whether to exercise that authority on the basis of any relevant information which the Minister may receive. However, the Minister should act to remove a Board member only after consultation with the nominating party, subject to requirements for confidentiality. A replacement for the member removed should be nominated and appointed as soon as practicable.

Where a Board chooses to specify grounds for the removal of a member pursuant to LSCFA 2.12.2.7, that Board should communicate those grounds in writing to the nominating Parties and the Minister as soon as those grounds have been adopted by the Board.

3. Resignation of a Member

A Board may wish to establish rules or procedures concerning the resignation of Board members. It is recommended that Board members who wish to resign during their term be required to communicate their resignation in writing to the Board, and that the Board immediately advise the Minister of the resignation. A replacement for the member who resigned should be nominated and appointed as soon as practicable.

Organization of the Board

For their effective working, the RRC and RLUPC, within the first 60 days after being established by appointments, should convene at least one meeting. The initial meeting of the Board should be convened by the members with such organizational assistance from the appointing Minister or Minister's representative as may be required to complete the necessary arrangements.

At its initial meeting or as soon as practicable thereafter, each Board should address:

the selection or nomination of a Chair and/or Vice-Chair, as the LSCFA may provide in respect of that Board;
any rules and procedures which it may require pursuant to LSCFA 2.12.2.7 and 2.12.2.10;
the Board budget and the completion of related financial arrangements;
any organizational and policy matters, and arrangements with respect to support services and facilities required for the discharge of its mandate under the LSCFA; and
any arrangements required with respect to the training and cross-cultural orientation and education of Board members.

Board Services and Facilities

It is expected that the RRC and RLUPC will arrange for the support services and facilities they require. The Boards may co-operate in these arrangements, as they may find convenient. In determining their arrangements, the Boards should consider the training and economic opportunities which may be made available to Yukon First Nations, and the specific provisions of the LSCFA.

Part 2 - Board Training and Cross-Cultural Orientation and Education

Part 2 applies to the Carmacks Renewable Resources Council, Regional Land Use Planning Commission and Settlement Land Committee ("SLC").

For the purposes of LSCFA 2.12.2.9, 28.3.5, 28.3.7 and the SLC, Board training should include:

training in Board procedures and functions;
training directed to improve Board members' ability to carry out their responsibilities in the field or fields within the mandate of the Board;
familiarization with the provisions of the LSCFA; and
cross-cultural orientation and education.

1. Board procedures and functions

This training should reflect both internal Board needs and needs of the Board in relation to public process. It should enable a Board to develop the internal rules it may require and to develop its approach and organization for decision-making. This latter area may include matters of policy development, planning, prioritization, time management and financial management. The appropriate time for the different aspects of this training to occur may vary from Board to Board.

It is strongly recommended that each Board assess and take steps, including budget provisions, to address its training requirements in these areas as soon as practicable after the Board is established. These requirements should be reassessed and addressed accordingly within 90 days after the termination of the initial appointments, for the benefit of the replacement nominees. The Board's previous training activities should be considered by subsequent members when assessing their training needs and the means by which those needs may be addressed.

Refresher training or specific needs for procedural advice during the term of a Board should be left for each Board to address as it deems necessary.

2. Training related to Board Mandate

Each Board should assess and take the steps necessary, including budget provisions, to address the needs of its members for training which will enable them to improve their ability to carry out their responsibilities in the field or fields within the Board's mandate. It is recommended that this occur as soon as practicable in the first year of each Board's term and at least annually thereafter. The specific program or initiatives to be taken in this area should be left to each Board to decide and arrange as it may require.

3. Familiarization with the LSCFA

All Parties have an interest in ensuring that the members of each Board understand the purposes of the Board under the LSCFA. All Parties also have an interest in ensuring that this understanding is achieved through appropriate, balanced procedures.

As provided in LSCFA 28.3.7, the Parties should jointly inform each Board about relevant provisions of the LSCFA and LSCFA Plan. This information program should be carried out in a co-operative, co-ordinated way. It should be completed as soon as is practicable after the Board is established, at a time convenient to the Board and the parties.

Each party should designate representatives who will participate in this program. The designated participants should include persons who will facilitate the program generally, as well as persons who have actual knowledge of the negotiations and considerations which led to the provisions of the agreements in each area.

4. Cross-Cultural Orientation and Education

On-going cross-cultural awareness and sensitivity will be important for the effective working of the Boards.

It is strongly recommended that each Board consider and take the steps necessary, including budget provisions, to ensure that its members have the benefit of cross-cultural orientation and education. This should be considered and addressed as soon as practicable in the term of each Board, and thereafter as may be required.

It is expected that cross-cultural orientation and education will relate to the mandate of each Board and address cultural values, attitudes, strengths and differences in ways that enable the members of each Board, as a cross-cultural group, to work well together to fulfil their mandate.

Part 3 - Aboriginal Language Services

This Part applies to the Carmacks Renewable Resources Council, Regional Land Use Planning Commission and Settlement Land Committee.

The Boards should be able to conduct their proceedings in aboriginal languages when appropriate.

Aboriginal language services in Yukon are currently the subject of a multi-year agreement between Canada and Yukon. It is expected that aboriginal language services will be available to the Boards pursuant to such agreements as may be in place from time to time or through contracting with individuals or organizations for the services desired.

It is expected that all best efforts will be made to ensure that the language services the Boards may require will be available to them at the earliest practicable date.

Part 4 - Board Mandates and Activities

The following provisions address the mandate and expected activities, and relevant specific arrangements, in respect of each of the Boards.

SETTLEMENT LAND COMMITTEE

Mandate and Activities

Each Settlement Land Committee ("SLC") shall be responsible for:

the identification and selection of Site Specific Settlement Land out of Proposed Site Specific Settlement Land;
determining priorities for the survey of all Settlement Land;
indicating to the Surveyor General of portions of boundaries, if any, of those Special Management Areas which should be considered for definition by survey in order to better serve the mutual interests of LSCFN and the public;
receiving requests relating to the use and enjoyment of Proposed Site Specific Settlement Land by Yukon Indian People; and
determining whether it is practicable to give effect to such requests and shall recommend to Canada or the Yukon, as the case may be, that it take such steps as the SLC considers appropriate.

Guidelines

Interim use of Site Specific Settlement Land;

a report of "...requests relating to the use and enjoyment of Proposed Site Specific Settlement Land..." will be kept by the SLC;
"...the identification and selection of Site Specific Settlement Land out of Proposed Site Specific Settlement..." will primarily be the responsibility of the LSCFN as the entire Proposed Site Specific Parcel will have been agreed to by all Parties. The other members of the SLC will have only to ensure that the selected area is within the Proposed Site Specific Parcel and that it is adequately defined for survey purposes;
it is not intended that the SLC act as a substitute for "land use planners". The SLC will only be responsible for making recommendations concerning requests to "occupy" the land but will not be required to approve specific uses in the event that the land is developed; and
any other activities contained in the LSCFA.

Organizational Structure

The SLC shall be established no later than one month after the signing of the LSCFA. The representatives to the SLC shall be appointed as follows:

Canada Representative

The Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development will appoint one person to represent the Department when the Settlement Land being dealt with was formerly under federal administration.

The representative will be experienced in land issues, including survey requirements, and will have the authority to speak on behalf of the Department.

The position will be filled by the same person for the life of the SLC where possible.

Yukon Representative

Yukon will appoint one person to represent Yukon when the Settlement Land being dealt with was formerly under Yukon administration.

The representative will be experienced in land issues, including survey requirements, and will have the authority to speak on behalf of the Yukon. The position will be filled by the same person for the life of the SLC where possible.

LSCFN Representatives

LSCFN will appoint two persons to represent LSCFN for all land selections negotiated by LSCFN.

The representatives will be experienced in land issues, including survey requirements.

The positions will be filled by the same persons for the life of the SLC, where possible.

Chair

The Chair for the SLC will be appointed by the Surveyor General for Canada. The Surveyor General may decide not to appoint the same person for all SLCs.

The position of Chair will be filled by the same person for the life of the SLC where possible.

The Chair will be an experienced Canada Lands Surveyor with authority to speak on behalf of the Legal Surveys Division of Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan").

NRCan will employ, to the extent possible, local personnel to record and document all decisions made at SLC meetings.

Operations

The SLC will operate as follows:

Decision Making

All decisions will be made by consensus, and, in the event that a decision cannot be reached, the problem will be referred to the Dispute Resolution process as described in section 26.3.0 of the LSCFA. The Chair will decide at what point there is an impasse on any particular decision.

Meetings

Meetings will be called by the Chair, and will normally occur two to three times each year. Normally, there will be one meeting in the winter, to establish and review priorities, and one in the spring to review and approve survey reports and plans. Other meetings may occur as needed. Meetings will be held in Carmacks unless reasons arise that make it more practical to meet elsewhere. Regardless, all members of the SLC will be consulted regarding the proposed location of the meeting. Funding has been provided by Canada to LSCFN to enable its nominees to participate in the SLC proceedings. Meeting facilities will be provided by LSCFN when the meetings are held in Carmacks.

Chair Responsibilities
