Wolastoqey chiefs have written an open letter criticizing Premier Blaine Higgs's government for how it's handled its duty to consult with First Nations and signaling their readiness to work with a new government.
The New Brunswick government is moving to protect private property owners from a land claim by the Wolastoqey Nation that seeks title to more than 60 per cent of the province.
Premier Blaine Higgs is doubling down on his stance that an Aboriginal title claim for roughly half of New Brunswick could impact properties owned by smaller landowners who are not named in the claim launched by the province's Wolastoqey nations.
