Now it’s keeping the settlement terms secret from the taxpayers who must cough up the cash.
It's a pretty simple concept to grasp.
In 2016 the NDP said that you could mine and explore on Category 2 land, then in 2022 the UCP said you couldn't.
You can't give companies the rights to exploration, then take them away and not pay compensation.
It's no different than paying power companies $1.4B to stop burning coal.
