What will happen if the FNI membership votes against the land-less band deal?
The deal will be effectively dead and we start from scratch again. Even though both governments support this deal (as long as land is off the table)a new court case could drag on for ever. As far as the other court case is concerned, I am told that both governments are totally against it and will never settle out of court. I believe that the courts will offer any gains through the court process to all non-status (or status) Mi’kmaq in Newfoundland.
