An Act respecting the Commissioner for Modern Treaty Implementation
Better, timelier treaty implementation can reduce legal disputes and uncertainty, enabling Indigenous economic participation and unlocking projects that contribute to national prosperity.
An independent commissioner with audit and reporting powers can hold departments to account and overcome long-standing inertia in treaty implementation, though execution will determine impact.
Potential productivity gains from clearer, faster treaty implementation are indirect; the bill does not directly reform regulatory or industrial policy.
No direct export measures; any positive effect would be through improved project certainty in resource and infrastructure development.
Improved certainty and accountability around treaty obligations can de-risk investment, particularly in northern and resource regions, supporting project finance and partnerships.
Creates a new office with costs but includes coordination with the Auditor General to reduce duplication; efficiency gains are plausible but unproven without clear service standards and KPIs.
No tax measures are included.
Primarily an oversight and accountability reform; enabling for larger outcomes but not a direct large-scale economic initiative.
