What it does
The Indigenous Partnerships Office (IPO) delivers the Indigenous Natural Resource Partnerships (INRP) contribution program and houses the Secretariat for the Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committees (IAMCs). The INRP program supports Indigenous participation in natural resource and energy infrastructure development. The IAMCs are leading federal efforts to meaningfully involve Indigenous peoples in the Line 3 Replacement and Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) pipeline projects by providing advice to regulators, and participating in the monitoring and oversight of these projects over the full lifecycles. IPO also advances the interdepartmental Economic Pathways Partnership for the pipeline projects, making it easier for Indigenous groups to access existing federal programs that help them participate in and benefit economically from these projects.
