from Ontario, one of whom shall be the chairman. It is a duty of the advisory 

 committee to advise Ontario and Canada with respect to development, manage- 

 ment and cropping of the renewable natural resources including, where necessary 

 or expedient in the interest of primary producers, the processing and sale of such 

 products and the distribution of the proceeds amongst the persons for whose 

 benefit the development programme has or will be undertaken. The committee 

 will submit an annual programme and a budget and Ontario will, provided 

 monies are appropriated therefor by the Legislature, undertake the administra- 

 tion, supervision and management of the programmes or special projects and will 

 expend $200,000 annually. Provided monies are appropriated by Parliament, 

 Canada will pay Ontario $50,000 annually for administration and supervision 

 expenses plus 50% of all other expenses of the programmes and projects pro- 

 vided the total amount payable by Canada does not exceed $100,000 or 50% 

 of the amount actually expended, whichever is the lesser. The agreement pro- 

 vides that administration and supervision costs may include salaries and expenses, 

 including air transportation, in whole or in part, of overseers, conservation offi- 

 cers, management officers, biologists, and others who by agreement are engaged 

 in the supervision and management of resource programmes other than fur. It 

 also provides that other costs may include field investigations directed to man- 

 agement, including taking of animal censuses; lake examinations to determine 

 the safe level of production; management research and fur marketing projects; 

 transfers of live fur-bearing or game animals; restocking with fish and applica- 

 tion of such other rehabilitation techniques as will bring development projects 

 more quickly into sustained yield production; shore installations such as ice houses, 

 packing sheds and docks for the primary production of round or dressed fish in- 

 cluding where necessary, living accommodation for seasonal staff; purchase or 

 rental of boats, canoes, motors and other patrol or camp equipment used by 

 supervisors, inspectors or research personnel; such other and additional items as 

 are included in the advisory committee budget and approved by the parties to 

 the agreement. The agreement provides for a study of processing and marketing 

 facilities which, if undertaken, will be carried out under supplementary agree- 

 ments. Fish processing plants, establishments for fur marketing, or plants for 

 processing and storage of any product will only be established where private 

 companies have failed or refused to do so after being given a reasonable oppor- 

 tunity to undertake the work at their own cost without subsidy or guarantee. 



The agreement provides that subject to cancellation and any treaty or statute, 

 the principle of previous use and occupation will be continued to be applied in 

 the allocation of trapping, commercial fishing and wild crop harvesting rights. 

 It was further agreed that licences for the commercial harvesting of resources 

 will be issued only to primary producers and that individuals who do not person- 

 ally participate in producing or harvesting at the primary level shall not be eligible 

 for any licence which governs the production or the harvesting of the resources 

 v/hich are subject to the agreement. The agreement provides that Indians shall 

 be liable to the payment of all licence and other fees. Ontario agrees that where 

 suitably trained Indians are available it will give consideration to employment of 

 such Indians in connection with the programme. 



Canada may appoint a field officer for liaison purposes.
