Why can’t the municipality and/or the people of Caledonia be represented at the negotiating table?
The negotiations are about the resolution of Six Nations’ grievances with the federal government. They are conducted on a confidential basis to promote a more effective resolution process. However, from time to time the parties at the main table may seek to have input from municipalities that have a direct interest in the claim resolution process. In the meantime, the province and federal government will continue to work closely with Haldimand County through the Municipal Provincial Federal Liaison Committee, which meets bimonthly in Caledonia. Negotiators also meet as needed with municipal staff and elected representatives.
