The Supreme Court of Canada just released a fascinating new decision on the Honour of the Crown. Building on a recent case on legislative reconciliation in the child and family services context, it has outlined a complementary framework for contractual reconciliation: www.scc-csc.ca/case-dossier...

The Supreme Court confirms that the province of Quebec breached the requirements of good faith and the principle of the honour of the Crown in carrying out agreements on police services in an Indigenous community.

Is Canada’s critical minerals strategy greenwashing?

Indigenous and remote communities will bear the long-lasting ecological, social and cultural impacts of mining. This cannot be ignored.
