B.C. New Democrats committed to paying more than $100 million over five years to Sunshine Coast -based shíshálh Nation .

But they kept the amount and related terms secret until well after the provincial election.

The payments were set out in a 44 -page foundation agreement on Indigenous reconciliation, signed Aug. 16, 2024 .

In a followup note Monday , the government said the delay had nothing to do with keeping a lid on the terms until after the election.

Now that the agreement is public, “the community is very interested in how the agreement will be implemented,” the government says.
