Its mandate is: to inquire, at the request of a First Nation, into specific claims that have been rejected by the federal government, or accepted claims where the First Nation disputes the compensation criteria being considered; and to provide mediation services on consent of the parties at any stage of the claims process. This mandate was modified by Order in Council in November 2007, to conclude the Commission’s work. Inquiries: Mediation: The Commission has information on only those specific claims that are or have been in its process, and no information on comprehensive claims. The Commission also has no land registry from which precise bounds of claims can be determined. Users may wish to contact the Claims and Indian Government Sector at Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, as it is the main repository of information on land claims. |
