I wonder what this will mean for the case happening at Sauble Beach. It was recently decided that the Saugeen Ojibwe Nation are the rightful owners of the beach, but since the federal government was paying for the SON's lawyers they say the feds aren't liable. Then the province pushed it onto the township, which was a creation of the provincial government and didn't exist at the time of the treaty. It's a whoooole lot of bullshit. Not that they own the beach, that it's the responsibility of the municipality to make them whole. Meanwhile the shores of the beach are awash with lawyer bills piled higher than the dunes.

Canada owes First Nations billions after making ‘mockery’ of treaty deal, top court rules
(www.theguardian.com)
So… while they won’t get it indexed for inflation, do they at least get the money plus prime interest rate compounded annually?
Always wondered when our government would be held accountable with this. Let's see if they drag their feet any further.
Drag their feet? They'll likely all say they can't walk.
