Canada – Indigenous Knowledge Policy Framework for Project Reviews and Regulatory Decisions
On September 26, 2022, Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault released the new Indigenous Knowledge Policy Framework for Project Reviews and Regulatory Decisions.
The Framework will be of interest to dam owners, as it will inform the inclusion and protection of Indigenous knowledge in project reviews and regulatory assessment under the Impact Assessment Act, the Canadian Navigable Rivers Act, and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, as well as the fish and fish habitat protections of the Fisheries Act.
Information about the Framework is available at this link.
