40th Parliament, 2nd Session
(January 26, 2009 - )

What's New?

The Standing Senate Committee on Aboriginal Peoples has launched a study to examine issues related to Indian Act elections. The committee will look at outstanding concerns related to the two-year term of office for Chiefs and Council currently prescribed by the Indian Act, as well as the establishment of fixed or “common day” elections, and the possible use of removal or recall mechanisms should terms of office be extended. The committee welcomes submissions by First Nations, and other interested groups, on whether and how changes in these areas may provide for better governance and political accountability.

For more information on how to make a submission, please contact the committee clerk.
