June 14-15, 2012
Delta Bessborough Hotel, Saskatoon
The intersection between Aboriginal peoples and the development of natural resources is at the heart of Aboriginal law and policy in Canada. Issues arising around natural resource extraction and allocation, together with constitutional obligations rooted in treaty and aboriginal rights, the honour of the Crown and duties of consultation and accommodation often lead to complex economic and social arrangements.
Please join us from June 14-15 in Saskatoon to discuss emerging issues alongside best practices and lessons learned in this increasingly important area of aboriginal law.

First Nations’ Elections Act, welcomed – with changes
The CBA supports passage of Bill S-6, First Nations’ Elections Act, with amendments to enhance the governance of First Nations and ensure elections are conducted fairly. The CBA’s six-page letter to the Senate Committee on Aboriginal Peoples makes several recommendations, including that Bill S-6 be amended to narrow the discretion of the Minister to intrude on self-governance for First Nations, and to allow First Nations to develop their own internal dispute mechanisms or appeal processes.
Aimée Craft, Chair of the National Aboriginal Law Section, presented the CBA’s views to the Senate Committee on Aboriginal Peoples in late February.
