4.3.3 the Fiscal Benefits of the TMX Benefits Sharing Agreements Benchmarking Fiscal Benefit Distributions through Impact Benefit Agreements: A Case Study of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project by Daniel Dale B.

Approval Name: Daniel Dale Degree: Master of Resource Management Title: Benchmarking Fiscal Benefit Distributions through Impact Benefit Agreements: A Case Study of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project Project Number: 748 Examining Committee: Chair: Myfannwy Pope Master of Resource Management Candidate Thomas Gunton Senior Supervisor Professor Sean Markey Supervisor Professor Date Defended/Approved: May 11, 2020 ii Abstract Impact Benefit Agreements (IBAs) are increasingly important in the planning and successful execution of major resource development projects in Canada. IBAs are tools of Indigenous community development and are intended to help return resource development benefits to locally impacted Indigenous communities. Fiscal benefits delivered through IBAs are often a much needed source of community funding. This report presents a methodology to evaluate the quantum of fiscal benefits Indigenous governments receive through IBAs relative to benchmark standards developed though a literature review. The methodology is applied to a case study of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project. The results show that IBAs likely fall short in their objective to deliver an adequate share of fiscal benefits to Indigenous governments relative to the fiscal benchmarks used in the evaluation. This report aims to provide tools and recommendations to aide First Nations in the negotiation of IBAs so as to provide a more equitable distribution of the benefits of natural resource development in Canada. Keywords: impact benefit agreement; fiscal benefits; community development; consultation & accommodation; natural resource development; Trans Mountain Expansion Project iii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my friends and family who have provided me with much needed encouragement, support, and distractions during my academic journey. Second, thank you to my senior supervisor, Dr. Thomas Gunton, for sharing your knowledge, perspective, and comments in this field. Additionally, thank you to Dr. Sean Markey and the rest of the IBA research team for the leadership and guidance as I started out on this research project. Finally, I would also like to acknowledge the financial support provided by the Canadian International Resource Development Institute, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and Simon Fraser University, without which this project would not have been possible. iv Table of Contents Approval ............................................................................................................................... ii Abstract ............................................................................................................................... iii Acknowledgements ............................................................................................................. iv Table of Contents .................................................................................................................v List of Tables ...................................................................................................................... vii List of Figures.................................................................................................................... viii List of Acronyms ................................................................................................................. ix Chapter 1.

Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Cameron J Pollock Degree: Master of Arts Title: In Pursuit of the Quarry: Exploring Lithic Exchange on the Interior Plateau of British Columbia Examining Committee: Chair: Christina Giovas Assistant Professor Rudolf Reimer Senior Supervisor Associate Professor George Nicholas Supervisor Professor Jesse Morin External Examiner Independent Heritage Consulant and Archaeologist K’omoks First Nation and Tsleil-Waututh Nation Date Defended/Approved: October 26, 2018 ii Abstract This thesis represents an exploratory provenance study to map the spatial distribution of lithics from the Arrowstone Hills lithic source, located near Cache Creek BC, across the Southern Interior Plateau. Using X-Ray Fluorescence analysis, an elemental signature for this source was generated, against which lithic artifacts from archaeological sites located across the Plateau were compared. The Arrowstone Hills source was also compared to five other lithic sources on the Plateau and Northwest Coast. It was determined that the Arrowstone Hills source is part of a geological complex that includes at least three other nearby lithic sources possessing a similar elemental signature, named here the Kamloops Fine-Grained Volcanic complex.
