Understanding the Appeal Process in the Settlement Agreement

The settlement agreement for the Treaty 4 Agricultural Benefits outlined a clear process for appealing the vote. This process was intended to ensure fairness and accountability in the ratification of the settlement. Key elements of the appeal process include:

• The total amount of Authorized Loans at any given time must adhere to the borrowing limits established in the Trust agreement (Refer to Appendix B: Article 7.1 – Loan Access Provisions) (Refer to Appendix B: Relevant Sections on Loan and Trust Operations)**
• The annual repayment of loans (principal + interest) cannot exceed a majority portion of the Annual Payment as defined in the Trust agreement of the Annual Payment received from the Trust’s investments.
• The remaining a remaining portion of the Annual Payment as determined by governance policies of the Annual Payment will be available for spending according to the Revenue Account Law.
