“The Coalition for the Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples” (www.declarationcoaliton.ca) has stated: The next session of Parliament must build on this foundation by prioritizing the earliest possible adoption of government legislation that fully reflects or exceeds Bill C-262. Key elements would include:

• Repudiation of colonial laws, policies and doctrines.
• A commitment to work collaboratively with Indigenous peoples in every aspect of implementation of the Declaration.
• A process to reform federal laws, policies and regulations to ensure they meet or exceed the minimum standards set out in the Declaration.
• A commitment to develop a national action plan for collaborative implementation of the Declaration’s provisions.
• A requirement for regular reporting to Parliament so that there is transparency and accountability for the progress made.
• The Declaration is not abstract or merely aspirational. It affirms the minimum standards urgently needed to address and heal the harms inflicted on Indigenous peoples by a long history of racist and discriminatory laws, policies, and practices.
