Economic expert claims treaty beneficiaries are owed billions of dollars for revenues generated in Robinson Superior Treaty territory, but the Crown argues the cost of colonization, resource extraction outweighs those revenues
Lawyers for the federal and provincial governments have been attempting to poke holes in the testimony of economist David Hutchings during the third stage of the Robinson Superior Treaty annuities case, taking place this week in a makeshift courtroom at the University of Sudbury.
The Ontario government’s experts have also argued in court that the government's “colonization” expenditures — everything from healthcare to railways and roads — are actually “investments” in Indigenous communities, with the amount spent exceeding revenue from natural resources in the treaty territory by nearly $8 billion.
Relevant expenditures are being defined in court as Crown expenses related to collecting, regulating and supporting relevant Crown resource-based revenues.
