What benefits to Canada and the Northwest Territories are expected as a result of the Tlicho Agreement?
A. The Tlicho Agreement will provide greater certainty and clarity about ownership and management of land and resources. This will create a much more predictable decision-making environment with the potential to attract investment and economic growth. The Agreement will also provide the Tlicho with the opportunity to enhance their participation in the economy of the region and the territory as a whole, and to become more self-reliant. For example, through the land, resources and financial benefits they receive from the Agreement, the Tlicho will be in a better position to undertake new business ventures or partnerships with industry. Other residents may also benefit from the Tlicho Agreement (e.g., as new economic development initiatives get underway, jobs and other opportunities will likely be created).
