Aboriginal Affairs Minister Michael Bryant has made a deal with First Nations communities to give them a $3-billion slice of the province's lucrative lottery and gaming revenues over 25 years.Or anyplace else, apparently.
"It involves an initial boost and it also signals a new direction," Bryant said.
"We have avoided fighting each other in the courts."
Because that totally unaccountable "welfare handout" thing... has been working out so well.
Good grief.
