Recognition of Indigenous Governments by the Crown: Does the Duty to Consult Apply

Presented by the CBA Alberta Aboriginal Law North Section

On Demand. Originally presented on June 5, 2024.

Join Keltie Lambert and Justine Mageau, counsel for Metis Settlements General Council in Metis Settlements General Council v. Canada (Crown-Indigenous Relations), 2024 FC 487, in a discussion surrounding the importance of Crown recognition of Metis Governments through agreements and the vigorous responses to Bill C-53: Recognition of Certain Metis Governments in Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan and Metis Self Government Act.  In addition to finding the Crown owes a duty to consult impacted Indigenous communities when the Crown negotiates self-government recognition agreements, this recent case discusses the justiciability of self-government agreements and the fundamental role Metis communities play in defining themselves.
