Written Question 10-15(6): Income Security Program Treatment Of Impact Benefit Compensation

My question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.

Can the Minister provide a copy of the legal opinion on income benefit agreement payments that stipulates IBA payments should be considered as earned Income for income security clients?

Was this an independent legal opinion or an opinion provided by GNWT legal counsel?

How do IBA distribution payments differ from the Inuvialuit regional agreement distribution payments?

Why is the IBA distribution payment not considered an integral part of the land claims process by income security?
