UK Cabinet meeting on the White Paper on "A Draft Agreement between the Government of the UK and China on the Future of Hong Kong" (i.e. The Joint Declaration)
1. The document analyzes the South China Sea dispute between China and neighboring ASEAN countries over island territories, and the recent involvement of the US.
2. It argues that the US portrayal of renewed engagement is overstated, as the US has long maintained a naval presence and military exercises in the region. Meanwhile, China has strengthened economic ties with ASEAN through their free trade agreement.
3. The document concludes that media portrayals of rising tensions are overblown, as claimants are continuing informal negotiations over the disputes through ASEAN-China cooperation, while military conflict is unlikely given China's preference for non-military resolution and expanding economic influence in the region.
Fidel Castro formally retired as Cuban president in 2008 after 32 years, though he had previously transferred power to his brother Raul in 2006 for health reasons. Cuba has a state-controlled planned economy and relies heavily on Venezuelan oil, but its economy has struggled since the 1990s due to the loss of Soviet aid. The U.S. established an embargo on Cuba in 1960 due to tensions over property expropriation and Cuba's transition to Marxist-Leninism, though relations have evolved over the decades.
Why & how is it that international laws & international bodies & international public figures paid to maintain peaceful co-existence keep silent while even endorsing repeated NATO bombings that have killed thousands of innocent men, women & children & destroyed public & private property in a show of supremacy & arrogance over the nations they have targeted? NATO war crimes extend from Yugoslavia, to Iraq, to Afghanistan & now Libya. Why are international laws being manipulated to pressurize nations politically less powerful yet bountiful in natural resources or placed in influential economic routes? This simply explains why nations are invaded in the present context & how NATO has become above the law.

- The 1969 White Paper proposed eliminating special status for Aboriginal people. This was opposed by Indigenous groups and led to increased activism.
- The 1973 Calder case recognized Aboriginal title. This initiated a comprehensive land claims process.
- The Berger Commission in 1974-1977 halted the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline due to environmental and Indigenous land rights concerns.
- The 1990 Oka crisis saw violent clashes over a land claim in Quebec and precipitated

Eyalmu Village: Squamish Nation
I have been unable to find any transcription of First Nations oral history of the Jericho area online, and would
welcome any available information to complete this section with pre-1791 history.
For the earliest European account of the area, page 4-5 of the “Vancouver Historical Journal” provides an account
dated 1791 that should be taken with more than a grain of salt, but which helpfully includes a reproduction of the
original charts of the first European to arrive, and a painting of his ship:
http://www.forgottenbooks.com/readbook/Vancouver_Historical_Journal_1000706342#5
To read the full “Vancouver Historical Journal”, click here:
http://www.forgottenbooks.com/readbook/Vancouver_Historical_Journal_1000706342
From the text: “Without aid, his chart is difficult to understand, but it indicates that [the Spanish navigator]
Narvaez…entered English Bay and saw the Indian village of Eyalmu at Jericho, approached Siwash Rock, saw the
Indian village of Homulchesun at Capilano Creek, and sailing north, passed another village near Point Atkinson,
probably at Cypress Creek.”

Vancouver Golf Club and transfer during wartime for military use
1892 -1894 - The Vancouver Golf Club used the Jericho lands as a golf course until their course was destroyed by
the sea. They left, attempting to relocate to different sites, and returned by 1908.
1908 -1941 In 1908 provincial government leased the property to the Jericho Country Club for $100/yr. The rate
was raised in 1924 to $2500/yr.
1942 – In 1942, the Federal government leased 140 acres from BC and bought the 9 acres under lease to the country
club for $55,000.
Most of the above-noted information comes from a provincial “Order in Council” documents that are included in the
next two pages of this document for reference purposes.
6. Federal government establishment of Jericho Garrison
With the purchase of the property from the golf club, and the purchase of the land on which the Jericho Garrison
now sits, the federal government had assembled 190 acres of land owned outright and on lease from BC, the golf
club, and 30 smaller property owners. They used the property to establish a permanent military base.
The memo that indicates that the Federal Government purchased the property where the Jericho Garrison now
sits for $351,000 is included on the following page for reference.
7. Jericho Beach and land beside the base reverts to the Province - 1966
Following the establishment of the base, there were efforts by politicians at the municipal and provincial level to
encourage the federal government to leave the beach and free it up for a provincial park.
These efforts came to unexpected success when in 1966 a city planner realized that the lands had only been
granted to the Feds conditional on their use for military purposes, and the Federal Government agreed to return
the lands that now make up Jericho beach. It appears that the lands beside the current Jericho Garrison were part
of this land return once the military use had ended.
Most of this information comes from newspaper articles at the time, included in the next few pages for reference.
8. Current: Plans to develop involving the Province and the Feds
The Jericho Land between 8th
and 4th
, Highbury and Discovery, is half owned by the Federal government,
and half by the provincial government. The parcel owned by the Province is divided into two separate
lots, 4196 W. 4th
and 4125 W. 8th
.
In February of 2011, the Federal and Provincial governments jointly retained a consultant to “conduct a
detailed evaluation of the development potential of the land, to estimate the costs of a major rezoning
and redevelopment plan, and to estimate the net yield from disposition of the land.”
You can read the consultant’s description of the project here: http://www.coriolis.ca/project-

9. First Nations: A third government’s reported involvement
In February of 2013, a leaked memo suggested that the federal government was negotiating with local first
nations, in the development plans and that they hoped to be complete the negotiations by May or June, 2013. It
appears that this timeline was optimistic, as no news has been released.
You can read the article about the leaked memo here, which includes direct quotes. The media outlet has not
released the full memo:
http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=70e407b4-4cd3-4730-ac9f-8bd8199186d1
In June of 2014 the Supreme Court of Canada released the Tsilhquot’in First Nation v. British Columbia decision
that found, for the first time in Canada, First Nations title over a large swath of crown land in Northern BC. The
decision has significant implications for treaty negotiations, and likely, negotiations of the type involving the
Jericho Lands, although an agreement may have been reached before the decision was announced.
If no deal has been struck before this decision, it is safe to say that the Tsilhquot’in (William) decision will have
implications for negotiations taking place, and will likely delay those negotiations.

10. Provincial Government updates
For three years in a row, I have asked the Minister responsible for disposing of provincial land, first
Andrew Wilkinson (former Minister of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services and MLA for
Vancouver Quilchena) and more recently Amrik Virk (current Minister of Technology Innovation and
Citizens’ Services and MLA for Surrey-Tynehead) for an update on the Province’s progress in selling or
developing the land, and whether the government intends to consult.
In 2013 and 2014, the Minister was clear that the Province is not currently involved in any negotiations;
however, they are following the provincial negotiations with First Nations carefully. I have included the
Hansard transcripts below.
January 30, 2014
A provincial government spokesperson e-mailed a journalist with the following message to clarify the
government’s current position.
11. December 4, 2014
For the first time, on December 4, 2014, the Province acknowledged that they were in negotiations with
unnamed First Nations around the sale of the Jericho lands. The article quotes the former Minister
Andrew Wilkinson saying that the talks between the province and First Nations are in the “early stages”.
http://globalnews.ca/news/1709659/more-discussions-with-first-nations-around-jericho-lands/
April 15, 2015
On April 15, 2015, the new Minister responsible for land sales, Amrik Virk, said that talks had progressed
from “early stages” to “more formal discussions” on the sale of the land.
You can see the questions and the Minister’s answers in the video here. Note the video has long pauses
while the Minister consults his staff before answering. The latest transcripts containing this exchange
have not yet been released and will be posted once they are.

D. Eby: The Jericho lands are a park-like setting in the middle of the Vancouver–
Point Grey riding and the Point Grey community — a lot of mature trees, a very
beautiful area. Half of the land is federal. There is a military base there. Half is
provincial.
A leaked federal memo that came out in the media in February indicated that the
federal government was on the verge of disposing of its half of the property. Ever
since, there has been widespread speculation within the Point Grey community about
the future of this property and whether or not the province has been attending these
meetings with the federal government, whether they're also planning on disposing of
its half of the property.
I'm hopeful that today the minister can please clear the air for the residents of
Point Grey and tell them what the province's plans are for this property.
[1505]
13. Hon. A. Wilkinson: Thank you for the question. The Jericho lands, as the
member describes, consist of two parcels.
One is the lowland parcel between 4th Avenue and 8th Avenue — federal land
which is currently operated as a military base. We understand that the federal
government is in discussions about the disposition of that property.
The upper property, to the west of the federal lands, is indeed provincial lands.
There are pending leases there — one to West Point Grey Academy and the other to
the Vancouver parks department — which run until 2020. The province has not
entered into any formal talks with First Nations, the city of Vancouver or other
stakeholders regarding the provincially owned lands at Jericho.
I think it's probably stating the obvious that we will observe with detailed interest
what happens with the federal lands and whether there's a disposition there.
D. Eby: My colleague from Vancouver-Quilchena says that there haven't been
any formal talks. Can he advise if there are any informal talks or any talks whatever
involving the disposal of this property by the provincial government, or whether the
constituents of Vancouver–Point Grey can rest easy until at least 2020, at the end of
these leases?
Hon. A. Wilkinson: The extent of any discussions, dialogue or otherwise about
the provincial Jericho lands has simply been incidental remarks with the Musqueam
First Nation, who are actively discussing the federal lands with the federal
government. There have been no substantial discussions with anyone that we're aware
of.
D. Eby: I thank the minister for that information. I know it'll put a lot of people's
minds at rest.
Mr. Chair, I would take this opportunity to ask the minister — if that does
change, if the ministry does start to look at disposing of this asset — that the minister
commit to a full consultation process with the Point Grey community. The West Point
Grey Community Association operates a community centre. Obviously, the Point
Grey Academy operates out of there. A lot of kids go to school there; their parents
live in the neighbourhood.
Also, the community has a lot of thoughts about the kinds of development that
could go there: environmentally friendly, that would improve affordability but that
would also fit in with the character of the neighbourhood.
So I hope the minister will commit to a full consultation process before disposing
of the property.
14. Hon. A. Wilkinson: This piece of property is well known to many of us, and I
think the member opposite has accurately summarized the shortlist of those who
would have opinions on it and would be interested in any issues that arise or any plans
that are formulating. I expect there will be fulsome consultation if there is any
progress on any plan to do anything differently, other than the status quo, with the
Jericho lands.

D. Eby: I'm sure my friend across the way knows exactly why I'm here and what
I'm asking about. Is there anything in the budget related to expenditure relating to the
Jericho lands or any update that he can provide my constituents?
Hon. A. Wilkinson: The member opposite was kind enough to forewarn me of
his question. I may not have told him at the time, but it certainly remains the same
answer that it was a couple of weeks ago. Nothing has changed from last year's
estimates in terms of the Jericho lands.
As far as we know, the federal government is continuing to engage with the First
Nations on the department of defence property, which is over toward Alma Street
between 4th and 8th avenues, and the provincially owned lands farther west. Nothing
has changed. We will wait to see what transpires with the federal lands before the next
round of estimates so that we can advise the member opposite of any changes.
But essentially, nothing has changed.
D. Eby: Thank you to the minister for that information.
16. I'm just wondering whether there's anything in the budget to send a staff member
into those negotiations, to sit in so that the province is at least up to date on what's
happening — although I realize it would be difficult to release that information, given
the nature of the negotia-
[ Page 3592 ]
tions. But is the province sending somebody to these negotiations so that our interests
are protected?
[1620]
Hon. A. Wilkinson: The answer is that we are neither invited nor attend any
negotiations conducted by the federal government, but we do have land management,
asset management staff who keep in touch with federal Public Works to find out
what's going on. There has been very, very little to report from them, other than that
they are still speaking with the First Nations.
D. Eby: Well, this is a very good opportunity, I think, for the government to
insert itself in this process. I can certainly advise that in my community there's a huge
amount of concern about what's happening, about what's being negotiated and what's
being discussed and that their interests aren't being protected.
The history of this site is that in 1946 the provincial government sold it to the feds
for the purpose of a permanent military base. But it's not a permanent military base
anymore. It was during wartime that we actually leased it to the federal government,
so it's this cooperative attitude, historically, on this site between the levels of
government to accommodate the needs of each level of government.
I wonder whether the minister would consider dedicating some of his budget to
pushing the federal government to have a provincial presence at that table, because it's
incredibly important.
Hon. A. Wilkinson: The working premise with the federal government, with
which I have perhaps more experience than I care to remember, is that we have great
difficulty inserting ourselves in their relationships with First Nations. They take the
view that they have their own jurisdiction, and in this case they own the property. So
we rely upon our diplomatic good offices to extract information from federal Public
Works once they have finished their discussions with the First Nations.
That may change over time, but right now we feel that's the most productive way
to keep a finger on the pulse in terms of the federal Jericho lands. I can assure the
member opposite this is an issue that we're trying to keep very much on top of.

constituency that she had met with the head of the Canada Lands Company. The Canada Lands
Company is the federal body responsible for selling and developing surplus government land.
She advised the residents that the Canada Lands Company had not yet taken possession of the land
from the Department of National Defence. Further, she confirmed that the Canada Lands Company
intended to consult before developing the property.
This information concerning the Canada Lands Company transfer was surprising.
In August of 2013, media outlets covered a story that suggested the transfer of the lands to the Canada
Lands Company had been approved by the federal government and was imminent. No explanation was
offered to Ms. Murray for the significant delay in the completion of the transfer.
You can read an article summarizing the transfer that was published in August, 2013 here:

1.1318353
This article from February 2, 2014 that includes promises by the Canada Lands Company to consult, and
confirmation that they believe they are bound by municipal planning processes, is here:
http://www.timescolonist.com/news/b-c/the-3-billion-debate-over-vancouver-s-jericho-lands-1.811266
In August, the Vancouver Sun published an article saying that First Nations land claims were delaying the
transfer of the Jericho land from the Military to the Canada Lands Company, and citing information
provided by a Department of National Defence spokesperson.

18. December 1, 2014 meeting with Canada Lands Company
My meeting scheduled with the Canada Lands Company (CLC) scheduled for September was delayed at
my request due to the arrival of our family’s newest addition. I finally got to sit down with the CLC on
December 1, 2014.
A number of key points came out of the meeting:
The CLC paid $237m to buy the entire federal half of the property from the Federal
Government;
The CLC says they have no preconceived notions about the form (towers, single family homes,
etc.) of buildings on the site, and take their consultation mandate seriously;
The first meeting with CLC in the consultation process will be an opportunity for community
members to present ideas for the development and suggestions on directions for the form of
buildings;
The CLC is a commercial developer with no affordable housing mandate, their job is to recover
the highest value reasonably possible for the Federal Government while leaving a property that
is consistent with a positive “legacy”;
Any affordable housing, as a result, will only come from a separate federal or provincial
program, or through Vancouver’s imposition of affordable or rental housing amenity
requirements as part of a rezoning process;
The CLC is fully bound by municipal zoning and rezoning rules and processes, despite the two
partners in this development appearing to be levels of government (First Nations, Federal
Government) not bound by those subordinate government rules;
Any rezoning, therefore, will be subject to a full rezoning hearing process at city hall.
UPCOMING MEETING: The Canada Lands Company will be meeting with the community to outline this
information and give further details about their consultation process on the evening of April 29 at the
Jericho Hill Gymnasium at 4196 W. 4th Avenue, hosted by the West Point Grey Resident’s Association.
