Blueberry River First Nation and Doig River First Nation [Compensation criteria – Highway right of way - IR 172 claim]

Canada accepted the claim of these First Nations for negotiation in September 2004, but the parties disagreed on the compensation criteria applicable to the claim. In March 2005, the Commission accepted the request of the First Nations to conduct an inquiry into which compensation criteria apply. At the request of the First Nations, the claim has been placed into abeyance pending negotiation with Canada about the applicable criteria.

This claim was the subject of a previous inquiry: see Blueberry River First Nation and Doig River First Nation [Highway right of way IR 172] completed inquiry summary.
