Real Change: A New Plan For a Strong Middle Class (page 48)

"Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Thursday the creation of a national council for reconciliation to help implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 final recommendations, which were released one year ago today."

(CBC, Devember 15, 2016)

 "starting with the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples."

“The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada has challenged all Canadians with its Calls to Action to help address the legacy of Canada’s residential school system and advance the goal of reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. The Government has committed to address each of the Calls to Action that fall under its purview. The proposed measures in Budget 2017 will build on the progress made to date and directly respond to the Calls for Action through:
• Substantial investments in First Nations and Inuit health care.
• Support for post-secondary education, skills, training and
employment development.
• Increased funding to support the preservation and revitalization of
Indigenous languages.
• Programing to reduce the overrepresentation of Indigenous
Peoples in the criminal justice system and corrections. In addition, the Prime Minister announced in December 2016 that the Government will enact an Indigenous Languages Act, co-developed with Indigenous Peoples, with the goal of ensuring the preservation, protection and revitalization of Indigenous languages.”

"This broad-based legislation will be inclusive of all Indigenous peoples while respecting a distinctions-based approach. The legislation would affirm inherent Aboriginal and Treaty rights as well as affirm principles consistent with the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child."
