Proposed Land Law: HENVEY INLET FIRST NATION CANNABIS LAND LAW 2021

 BACKGROUND

  1. Council has caused a proposed land law to be prepared which will regulate the possession, use, cultivation and sale of cannabis within Henvey Inlet First Nation Lands and which will require every seller of recreational cannabis within Henvey Inlet First Nation's reserves to be licensed and authorized as a seller under provincial legislation. A copy of the proposed land law entitled "Henvey Inlet First Nation Cannabis Land Law 2021" is attached as Schedule "A" to this tabling resolution,
  2. The proposed land law will benefit our community through protecting young people from exposure to cannabis smoke and use, ensuring the quality of cannabis available to adult members, and ensuring HIFN benefits from cannabis businesses carried on within HIFN lands.
  3. Pursuant to the Framework Agreement on the Management of First Nation Land and section 7 of the Henvey Inlet First Nation Land Code, as amended, Council has authority to enact laws regarding the development, conservation, protection, management, use and possession of Henvey Inlet First Nation Land, interests and licenses in relation to Henvey Inlet First Nation Land, and any matter necessary or ancillary to the making of such laws.
  4. Pursuant to the Framework Agreement on the Management of First Nation Land and subsection 20(3) of the First Nations Land Management Act, Henvey Inlet First Nation has authority to enact land laws to create offences punishable on summary conviction and to provide for the imposition of fines, imprisonment, restitution, community service and any other means for achieving compliance with such land laws.

Mail-in ballots will be accepted only if received by the Returning Officer on or before noon on Friday, 22 October 2021. There will be no proxy voting.
  5. The community approval ballot question shall be: "ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF THE ENACTMENT BY COUNCIL OF THE PROPOSED HENVEY INLET FIRST NATION CANNABIS LAND LAW 2021? NOTE: If approved, Council will enact the draft land law included in this voting package (may be minor amendments for correction of errors or clarification purposes). DYES D NO".
  6. Scott Jacobs is hereby appointed as the Voting Officer for the purposes of the Community Approval Vote and is hereby granted powers and authority analogous to those of an Electoral Officer pursuant to the Indian Referendum Regulations (C.R.C. c. 957), to conduct and determine all matters in relation to the Community Approval Vote in respect of proposed Land Law 2021/2022-003, and who shall certify to Council the proper conduct and outcome of the vote.
  7. Lands Councillor Doreen McKenzie shall be responsible to convene the Community Meetings of Members and, subject to the direction of the Voting Officer, to manage and facilitate the Community Approval Vote process.
  8. Council respectfully requests that the Lands Advisory Committee undertake the review of proposed Land Law 2021/2022- 003 for the purpose of advising members and Council, such advice to be provided at least 10 days prior to the date for a Community Meeting of Members in respect of the proposed Land Law specified in paragraph 3 of this tabling resolution.

    c. the advice of the Lands Advisory Committee; and
    d. the enactment of the proposed land law subject to any revisions to the draft proposed Land Law which Council deems necessary, where Council is of the view that such revisions do not alter the substance of the draft to the extent that further notice to the Members would be required.
  12. If for any reason the Meeting of Members or the in-person poll for the community approval vote or the Open Council Meeting to enact the proposed Land Law cannot be convened or concluded at the location or on the date or time specified in the Notice to Members, Council may reschedule the Meeting of Members, in-person poll or Open Council Meeting, in whole or in part, to an alternate date, time or place by Resolution. At least three days' notice of a rescheduled Meeting of Members, in­person poll or Open Meeting of Council shall be given to the Members by posting the new date, time and location in the Band Office and on the Henvey Inlet website.
