Focus of the hearings is the Robinson Superior Treaty annuity
The third stage of the Robinson Superior Treaty annuity trial resumed this week at the University of Sudbury with the testimony of David Hutchings, an economist who specializes in conducting economic analysis in complex tax, securities and antitrust matters.
In both, the province’s Court of Appeal mostly upheld those decisions. But while the federal government let both rulings stand, the Province of Ontario is taking the decisions to the Supreme Court of Canada. The Ontario government’s experts argued that the government's “colonization” expenditures — everything from healthcare to railways and roads — are actually “investments” in Indigenous communities and the amount spent exceeded revenue from natural resources in one of the treaty areas to the tune of almost $8 billion.
“These patterns reflect the fact that Crown resource revenues were relatively stagnant in recent years, while resource-related expenditures continued to rise,” said their report. The real value of resource development is the focus of Hutchings’ report as well, especially the Net Crown Resource-based Revenue , including that from mining, forestry, transportation, hydroelectric and land use sales.
