The Duty to Consult
The “duty to consult” requires consultation with Indigenous groups when government action may impact “Aboriginal and treaty rights”. Through interviews with legal experts, this four-part series explores what the duty to consult is, where it comes from, and how it might change in future. Listen to learn more about Canadian Aboriginal Law, its interaction with Indigenous Laws and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Developed by student researchers at the Centre for Constitutional Studies, University of Alberta. None of the information in this podcast series constitutes legal advice.
