Posted: January 29, 2021 Committee updates recommendations for Columbia River Treaty The Columbia River Treaty Local Governments Committee (the Committee) has updated its recommendations regarding the modernization of the Columbia River Treaty and resolution of domestic issues based on what the Committee has heard from Basin residents and local governments since their original recommendations were provided in 2013. The Committee provided its recommendations to the five governments represented on the CRT Negotiating Team – the federal government, the B.C. government, the Ktunaxa Nation, the Syilx-Okanagan Nation and the Secwepemc Nation. Unlike when the original Treaty was ratified in the 1960s with no consultation with Indigenous Nations, residents or local governments, the provincial government has been consulting with Indigenous Nations and inviting input from Basin residents and local governments since 2012.
