New Transfer
• The First Nations need to develop a new revenue sharing plan• The rich reserves give to the poor reserves
• There needs to be mechanism that allows Rich Reserves that have more mineral rights/economic development options to share some of their revenue with reserves that lack the same revenue capacity
• There needs to be more opportunities for small businesses to grow and develop on the reserve, i.e. tourism, agriculture, food processing, general trades, etc.
