Recommendation 1:
Establish a preliminary legislative foundation as soon as possible that brings transparency, coherence and a measure of accountability to the process, as part of a broader long-term approach to legislative change.
Foundational legislation developed in full co-operation with Indigenous peoples will provide a transparent, coherent and binding path to implementation.
Bill C-262 is a logical starting place for this legislation, as it provides a confirmation of legal application in BC; a legislated requirement for an orderly, clear and transparent process of implementation; and a recognition of the need for oversight and accountability frameworks.
Establishment of legislation should be reflective of a new approach to litigation regarding Indigenous Rights: collaboration, not conflict.

Recommendation 4:
Develop tools that entrench an understanding, respect and appreciation of the UN Declaration in society at large.
For implementation to be successful, the general public must be able to participate in discourse about the UN Declaration at the same level as other pieces of foundational legislation such as the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Constitution Act, 1982).
To do so, human rights education needs to be implemented and tools need to be developed (including school-based curricula) to properly educate the Canadian public on the UN Declaration.
