A Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) is a treaty between the U.S. and another country, which guarantees that each country will accord investors from the other country “national” or “most favored nation” treatment.

An agreement between two countries intended to relieve persons who would otherwise be subject to tax in both countries from being taxed twice in respect of the same transactions or events.

There are six stages in the BC Treaty Commission process. It begins with the First Nation filing a statement of intent through to the signing and implementation of a Final Agreement.
