Three more Saskatchewan First Nations added to GST remission list; short-title provision repealed

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

This amendment makes two practical changes to the order that remits goods-and-services tax for First Nations in Saskatchewan purchasing land under treaty land entitlement agreements. Three bands — Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation, Mistawasis Nêhiyawak, and Zagimē Anishinabēk — have been added to the schedule, each with a specified land quantum (in acres), making them eligible for the GST remission. At the same time, the short-title section of the order has been repealed. Bands already on the schedule are unaffected by these changes.
