VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 23, 2015) - On Thursday, September 24, the Fraser Institute will release a new study spotlighting how legal and economic certainty established by modern First Nations' land claim agreements can be swiftly undermined by the courts.

A news release with additional information will be issued via Marketwired on Thursday, September 24 at 5:30 a.m. (EST).
