CHRT Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution

Canada's Current Position CHRT jurisdiction ends, including CHRT orders. Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to order Canada to fund new components or increase funding for existing ones. NCCC Opening Position: a) CHRT jurisdiction to be extinguished upon dispute resolution mechanism becoming fully established and tested as per below: Stage I: CHRT baseline orders stay in place and CHRT retains jurisdiction until the later of: (i) [5] years or (ii) the Dispute Resolution Tribunal is established to monitor implementation of FSA to ensure discrimination stops and never happens again Stage II: Upon CHRT jurisdiction ending, Dispute Resolution Tribunal has ability to issue legally binding orders that require Canada to take additional measures (including providing additional funding) and make systemic changes if FSA measures are insufficient to end discrimination and ensure it never happens again. DR must recognize and incorporate First Nations legal orders and laws into dispute resolution process
