What it does

This Program provides support to federal departments and agencies as they work to fulfill the Crown’s legal duty to consult, and where appropriate accommodate, Indigenous Peoples whose asserted or established Aboriginal or treaty rights may be impacted by a federal activity.

Its responsibilities include leading the whole-of-government approach to consultation and accommodation; providing guidance, tools, and training to support federal officials; amplifying Indigenous voices and facilitating the sharing of Indigenous information; leading policy work on emerging issues; participating in the review of major projects under the Impact Assessment Act, the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, and the Nuclear Safety and Control Act; and co-developing and funding consultation tools to build capacity among Indigenous groups.

By supporting meaningful consultation and collaboration, the Program helps renew Crown-Indigenous relations, ensuring Indigenous perspectives are reflected in decisions that affect their lands, communities, and futures.
