The non-derogation clause, she says, is a failsafe, putting Section 35 into every law. The fourth leg, which gives the table stability, she says, is not one that legislators can build, as they built the other three. #UNDRIP #Section35 #DutytoConsult

No wonder why the summit is being met with skepticism:
Chiefs unclear if they’re invited: No agenda, no clarity on who speaks: looks like PR, not real engagement.

Carney and team better get moving on the trust and transparency part.

The rising legal and political importance of #IndigenousRights is fundamentally reshaping the landscape.

The #DutyToConsult and the affirmation of #AboriginalTitle effectively introduces a "third partner into the traditional #Federal-Provincial dynamic," creating a tripartite negotiation.

The feds and Ontario were warned.

Indigenous leaders and legal experts said: don’t fast-track infrastructure without co-developed guardrails.

They didn’t say don’t build.
They said build together.

Instead of shovels in ground, we’ll have court cases. #DutyToConsult
