TORONTO - A man who helped create the Territory of Nunavut in 1999 is now Ontario's lead negotiator in talks to settle Six Nations land claims.
Thomas Molloy, who was Canada's chief negotiator in the Nunavut talks, replaces Murray Coolican, who retired from the position on Thursday.
Coolican represented the Ontario government for the past 14 months in talks to resolve land claims disputes in Caledonia and Brantford.
Molloy, who was also instrumental in the historic Nisga'a agreement in British Columbia, assumes his new position in September.
He also achieved success by helping to establish treaty processes with the Mikmaq in the Nova Scotia and Quebec.
The federal government, the province and Six Nations are due to return in August to resume talks that began in May 2006.
