The number of plows, tools and oxen were increased to enable indigenous peoples to establish and maintain their farms efficiently. When livestock and equipment transfers between the Government of Canada and the bands are no longer an economic option, the bands will receive the equivalent value in financial compensation as set out in the treaty.

Negotiation, mediation and arbitration are said to bring “closure, benefits and certainty for all Canadians” (Specific Complaints).
