Legal Information – The Crown’s Duty to Consult and Accommodate Indigenous Peoples
CELA student-at-law Maria Lucas wrote a memorandum on the Crown’s duty to consult and accommodate that addressed the following research questions:
The research demonstrates that the duty to consult and accommodate (as it had been developed to May 2021) has largely remained the same since the framework’s inception, though there have been some notable recent legal developments. She concludes that the duty to consult is still lacking as a medium through which to achieve reconciliation. This is because the duty is Crown-centric and therefore dismissive of Indigenous law.
