Not all First Nations are aware of the full facts of the Framework Agreement.
Through the implementation of the Framework Agreement, First Nations can resume self-governance over their lands and resources and manage their own affairs, which is in everyone’s best interest. However, the LAB respects the decision-making authority of each First Nation to determine their respective paths. Neither the LAB nor the Resource Center solicits First Nations to enter the Framework Agreement process. Our policy is to provide information and support when approached by First Nations seeking workable remedies to the restrictive lands provisions of the Indian Act.
The LAB and Resource Centre recognize the importance of providing accurate and factual knowledge to redress misconceptions and misinformation about the Framework Agreement and will continue to ensure this information is readily and easily accessible for those who seek it.
