Financial aspects

The agreement-in-principle stipulates that at the time of the signing of the final agreement, the Innu would receive, according to terms that still need to be determined, a capital transfer of $275 million from Canada and of $102 million from Québec. These sums are comparable to those paid within the context of similar settlements. They would allow the governments of Québec and Canada to obtain a discharge for the past and a settlement of the law suits under way, while promoting the financial autonomy of Innu governments.

The Innu would also benefit from a share of the royalties that Québec collects when natural resources are exploited.

Thanks to these means and the planned development measures, the Innu governments could become more autonomous, both politically and financially.
