TRC Calls to Action: #51


Reconciliation
Equity for Aboriginal People in the Legal System

51. We call upon the Government of Canada, as an obligation of its fiduciary responsibility, to develop a policy of transparency by publishing legal opinions it develops and upon which it acts or intends to act, in regard to the scope and extent of Aboriginal and Treaty rights.

The federal government is "currently studying (their) policies and practices in relation to legal opinions in support of the development of options in response to this Call," and as of yet, there is no policy or legislation in this regard, nor has there been any proposed announcements to implement such legislation.
