Contacts

We encourage you to contact your department’s UN Declaration experts to assist you early in the development process.

We also encourage you to contact your departmental LSU to ensure that you will meet your consultation and cooperation obligations under section 5 of the UN Declaration Act and for other legal advice.

As needed, your departmental LSU will contact the Aboriginal Law Centre at the Department of Justice, which offers specialized advice on the implementation of section 5 of the UN Declaration Act. You may also wish to consult your departmental engagement and consultation unit or Indigenous consultation unit to assist you with your consultation and cooperation process.

For more information on the structure of an MC, please refer to the Memorandum to Cabinet templates and guidelines prepared by the Privy Council Office, available from the Cabinet Affairs unit of your department.
