Existing implementation mechanisms, such as Implementation Panels, Committees and other coordinating entities may not be adequately designed to support timely responses to new or emerging issues relating to modern treaty implementation. Canada will work with Indigenous Modern Treaty Partners to collaboratively strengthen the role and effectiveness of these structures and develop new structures in addition to those outlined in Annex A of Canada’s Collaborative Modern Treaty Implementation PolicyDeveloping a strategy for the comprehensive, meaningful and reliable measurement of progress in the context of implementing the broad objectives individually outlined in each modern treaty. Quantitative indicators are insufficient to measure improvements in governance, restoration of culture, language and heritage and other key elements of modern treaty implementation. Canada and Indigenous Modern Treaty Partners will collaboratively develop a measurement strategy, building off of existing efforts, to define and measure progress against the broad objectives of modern treatiesEnsuring that Indigenous Modern Treaty Partners are able to fully exercise their jurisdictional powers and manage and administer programs and services to their citizens, members or beneficiaries as set out in their agreements. Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs will ensure coordination among federal departments and agencies to develop clear and robust mechanisms with Indigenous Modern Treaty Partners and with provincial and territorial governments to ensure that barriers to Indigenous Modern Treaty Partners' exercise of jurisdiction and management and administration of programs and services are removed in a timely manner. These mechanisms will provide that Canada will use available levers and, where necessary, develop new mechanisms to influence provinces or territories, or both, to act to overcome these barriers. A cooperative federal-provincial-territorial-Indigenous approach is necessary to ensure agreements are fully implementedEnsuring that Indigenous Modern Treaty Partners without self-government are able to conclude self-government arrangements. Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs will co-ordinate with departments to develop clear and robust mechanisms by which Canada will collaboratively work with Indigenous Modern Treaty Partners that do not yet have self-government and with the relevant province or territory, or both, to ensure that barriers to entry into self-government arrangements are resolved in a timely manner. The mechanisms developed will provide that Canada will use available levers and, where necessary, develop new mechanisms to influence provinces and/or territories in this effortSupporting the evolution of modern treaties. Modern treaties are living documents capable of evolving over time. Should an Indigenous Modern Treaty Partner so choose, Canada will support the evolution of modern treaties in various ways. This includes, but is not limited to, introducing robust periodic review and renewal processes designed to facilitate negotiated amendments to modern treaties to reflect advancements in the law, including the implementation of the UN Declaration, changes in federal policies, recommendations from review processes and contemporary contexts. Canada will collaboratively work with Indigenous Modern Treaty Partners to develop approaches that support the evolution of agreements to ensure modern treaty rights keep pace with emerging Indigenous rights frameworks, including the UN DeclarationImproving dispute resolution processes. Canada's refusal to reasonably consent to arbitration has presented challenges in addressing disputes effectively, efficiently and in good faith. Canada will re-examine its approach to dispute resolution and work with Indigenous Modern Treaty Partners to co-develop solutionsAddressing challenges that prevent boards established by modern treaties from recruiting and retaining qualified nominees to serve as members and chairpersons. These challenges, if not addressed, create significant risks to the ability of Indigenous Modern Treaty Partners to meaningfully participate in the co-management of lands, resources, waters and wildlife within their territories. Canada will collaboratively work with Indigenous Modern Treaty Partners to identify issues and co-develop solutions in a timely mannerEstablishing effective mechanisms to ensure that all federal departments and agencies are alive to implementation issues and that these issues receive the right level of attention. The tools created through the Cabinet Directive—the Deputy Ministers' Oversight Committee, the Modern Treaty Implementation Office, and Assessment of Modern Treaty Implications—need to be improved to ensure departments understand and coordinate their whole-of-government obligations.
