“Since the introduction of Bill C-15 a year ago, we have continued to consult and engage with Indigenous partners and organizations to discuss the implementation of the Declaration and the Act, and the path forward. Advancing this joint work is a key part of our collective efforts to address the legacies of colonialism, violence, systemic racism and discrimination faced by Indigenous peoples in Canada. The outcome of this collaborative work will help advance reconciliation and strengthen Nation-to-Nation, Inuit-Crown, government-to-government relationships with Indigenous peoples based on the affirmation of rights, respect, cooperation and partnership. Through the consultation, cooperation and engagement process, Indigenous peoples, groups and organizations will have the opportunity to share their views and priorities for the implementation of the Act through a variety of avenues and methods over the coming months. This includes funding to support Indigenous-led consultations on action plan measures, including measures to ensure the consistency of federal laws with the Declaration, and annual reporting on progress.

In keeping with the Act, the Government of Canada will work in partnership with Indigenous peoples to develop an action plan to achieve the objectives of the Declaration, including measures for ensuring that federal laws are consistent with the Declaration.Īs a first step, funding is now available to Indigenous peoples and their governments and organizations, through a call for proposals, to support their participation in the consultation, cooperation and engagement process. The Honourable David Lametti, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada today launched a consultation, cooperation and engagement process with Indigenous peoples to advance implementation of the Act. Implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (the Act) requires working in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and the Métis Nation to develop an action plan that identifies specific measures to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (the Declaration), thereby enabling Indigenous peoples to enjoy the minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of their respective peoples.
