The BC gov't has learned its lesson with Windy Craggy compensation: No Compensation for Loss of Interests Related to Expropriation B.C. plans to table a Miscellaneous Statutes Amendment Act (Bill 43) which contains an amendment to the Law & Equity Act that would remove, or effectively remove, the right to compensation when rights on Crown land are expropriated. www.leg.bc.ca/38th4th/1st_read/gov43-1.htm This amendment has wide-reaching, serious implications for British Columbians. I doubt lenders will finance mine development and I doubt the world bank will provide political project risk insurance if tenure can be expropriated at the whim of what ever gov't gets elected every 4 years in BC. For that matter, who would risk exploring in BC when the complaints by any special interest group could result in expropriation if it was politically expedient? If more provinces in Canada adopted this legislation, mining could be eliminated from the Canadian economy. Then the gov't could focus on a transition to a green economy based on sustainable development like eco tourism.
