  • Bill C15 Carousel Day 2 Post 1 of 9 History of the Declaration in Canada
  • Article 3: Indigenous peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development
  • Quote, Simplistic approaches such as adopting the United Nations declaration as being Canadian law are unworkable
  • Quote, The Declaration is an aspirational document… is a non-legally binding document that does not reflect customary international law
  • Multiple attempts by opposition MPs to support the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: 2014, MP Romeo Saganash Bill C-641, 2010, MP Denise Savoie Bill C-328 and 2008, MP Irene Mathyssen Motion passed
  • Quote, It’s not enough to create legislation that holds colonial governments accountable to international human rights standards and Indigenous ways of being; it will take structural and institutional change to see justice on stolen lands. -Romeo Saganash
  • Quote, In partnership with Indigenous communities, the provinces, territories and other vital partners, we will fully implement the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, starting with the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. - 2015, PM Justin Trudeau
  • Quote, I do know that we have made tremendous advances in human rights by getting this far in the legislative process. It is rare for non-governmental bills to pass through the House of Commons and to get as far in the Senate as it did. This is an indication of how important bill C-262 is, of how much has changed, and of the general willingness of everyone to move towards a new future together. - Romeo Saganash
