What it does
Our program is operating as a Centre of Expertise, which provides services to other Transport Canada Programs to advance the Department’s Indigenous reconciliation efforts and working with federal partners to support “whole-of-government” initiatives (i.e., across multiple departments). We assist decision-makers by: Providing advice on best practices for consultation and engagement approaches across a broad range of departmental policy, program, regulatory and legislative initiatives; providing advice for compliance with modern treaty agreements and legal obligations; participating in various negotiation tables (modern treaties, self-government and other agreements, etc.) aimed at advancing Indigenous interests and achieving Indigenous self-governance and self-determination; supporting and helping develop whole of government policies related to Indigenous issues; and maintaining ongoing relationships and partnerships with First Nations, Inuit and Métis Nation organizations and communities.

| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
