Members of the indigenous group at the center of protests that have threatened Canada’s economy in recent weeks have reached a proposed deal with the government regarding their grievances.
The potential agreement provides a way forward on issues including land rights and title, Sarah Plank, a spokeswoman for British Columbia Indigenous Relations Minister Scott Fraser, said in an email. The deal still needs to be ratified by members of the indigenous group, and further details of the proposal won’t be released until that occurs, Plank said.
