Ottawa releases action plan for UNDRIP, despite calls for more consultation
The federal government released its action plan on Wednesday to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
They formally called on Ottawa to do more consultations, and a lawyer who had been working with the assembly on the issue said the document contained too much “noncommittal language.” Such measures include co-developing an approach to combat anti-Indigenous racism and guidance when it comes to engaging Indigenous Peoples on the development of resource projects.
The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples circulated an open letter to Lametti on Wednesday saying it had been excluded from the process.
