Share your views on a First Nation Education Act
Over five months, the Government has been receiving input on the proposed legislative approach to First Nations Education legislation. The Government is now taking into consideration the views and perspectives shared to date, to help inform the drafting of a proposed approach to a First Nation Education Act.
Following the early engagement, the Government has released a Blueprint for Legislation, which sets out the Government of Canada’s proposed approach to a First Nation Education Act and has been informed by the work of the National Panel on First Nation Elementary and Secondary Education, as well as recent consultations undertaken between December 2012 and May 2013. The Blueprint has been shared with First Nation Chiefs and Councils, First Nation organizations, provincial governments and others with an expertise or interest in First Nation education for feedback.
Although the first phase of consultations has now ended, you can still provide your comments on the proposed legislative approach, starting with reading the Learn section of this website and the Discussion Guide.
As part of the second stage of consultations, the Government of Canada is committed to sharing the draft legislation with all First Nation communities across Canada, as well as with provincial governments and other stakeholders, for feedback, prior to tabling in Parliament.
