WHO IS ADVOCATING FOR BC TAX PAYERS? 🚨 Dallas Brodie and the OneBC team read Bill 20 and presented the details in the Legislature. Before she did this, the BC Cons were all going to vote YES on all this transfer of funds to the Komoks band. After the details came out, only 5 BC Con members voted YES. The rest voted against it. THIS is why OneBC is needed. They actually LOOK at what's being passed. And keep in mind, this is only the 7th modern treaty. There's still 197 left to go in BC. Below is a breakdown of what the band of only about 340 members was already receiving. The money the Komoks band already received • 2022–23: $20.6M • 2023–24: $26M • 2024–25: $33.6M Accumulated surplus: 2013: $9.5M 2023–24: $62M Bill 20 added: • $90M one-time federal + provincial payment • $6.2M/year ongoing for “self-government” This could push average yearly revenue near $40M. Surplus + $90M + one year of revenue works out to roughly $565,000/band member — then the recurring funding continues. 2012 Agreement-in-Principle included a $17M signing bonus. Despite large surpluses, the band wanted its legal bills covered before accepting more money. This is the 7th modern treaty in 30 years (204+ First Nations in BC). Most can be reopened every 10 years. Claimed goal is socioeconomic “equity,” yet non-Indigenous BC taxpayers receive far less support per person while paying the bill.
