Liberals will back U.N. Indigenous rights bill - iPolitics
22.11.17
Liberals will back U.N. Indigenous rights bill - iPolitics: The Liberals had previously opposed bill C-262, with the minister calling it “unworkable” in Canadian law. She said reforms to federal laws and policies affecting Indigenous peoples would be based on existing legal interpretations of section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982.
Section 35 is seen by many as the backbone of protection for contemporary Indigenous rights.
Sponsored by Abitibi-Baie James-Nunavik-Eeyou MP Romeo Saganash, bill C-262, would make sure all Canadians laws are consistent with UNDRIP and require Ottawa to create an action plan to implement the declaration.
