- Establish processes for self-governing Indigenous Peoples and nations to transition out form under the Indian Act.
- Implement UNDRIP and RCAP recommendations.
Formally repudiate the doctrine of terra nullius, the doctrine of discovery, and other doctrines of superiority.
With Indigenous leaders at the helm, establish processes for self-governing Indigenous Peoples and nations to transition out from under the Indian Act, grounding this in the doctrine of free, prior, and informed consent.
Implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and reform all judicial, legislative, and executive branches of the federal government so that they are consistent with the Declaration.
Implement the recommendations of the 1996 Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples.
Affirm the inherent right of Indigenous communities to determine child and family services. Support kinship ties and ensure sufficient funding and resources so that families are kept together.
Include representatives from First Nations, Métis, and Inuit governments on the Council of Canadian Governments to improve policy coherence and optimize public spending with respect to higher order policy priorities
