Description

The House of Commons Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs (INAN) adopted its report on Bill C-15 (UNDRIP implementation legislation) on this date. This committee step was part of the bill’s formal parliamentary process and shaped the version discussed in the House. Bill C-15 aimed to advance the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Canadian law. Committee work is important because it is where detailed review and amendments commonly occur.
