| Summary |
The Crown has a duty to consult Aboriginal peoples when it has either real or constructive knowledge of an Aboriginal right and title and is contemplating action that might affect either the right or title. To date, the majority of Canadian Aboriginal case law has focused on applying the duty to consult to statutory decisions that could interfere with domestic Aboriginal or treaty rights. Aboriginal peoples have an opportunity to transform international decision making if Canada determines there is a legal requirement to include indigenous voices when negotiating and ratifying international agreements, especially those pertaining to the environment |
