Staying abreast of developments in Indigenous law and policy is critical for legal and business professionals in many industries across Canada. To help you stay current, Osler is pleased to present Indigenous Law Insights, a monthly webinar series.

Available live and on-demand, each 30 minute session will provide you with an update on recent court decisions, as well as pending and new legislative and policy developments. Members of our Indigenous Law group will deliver timely and practical information about what these developments mean for your business.

On Tuesday, April 30th, Osler Associates Marleigh Dick and Ankita Gupta shared their insights on the following cases:

  • Dickson v. Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, 2024 SCC 10, where the Supreme Court of Canada interpreted the relationship between individual Charter rights and freedoms and collective Indigenous rights protected in the Canadian Constitution.
  • Metis Settlements General Council v. Canada (Crown-Indigenous Relations), 2024 FC 487, where the Federal Court quashed provisions of a self-governing agreement between Canada and the Métis Nation of Alberta that recognized the Métis Nation of Alberta as the exclusive representative of the Métis Nation within Alberta on the basis that Canada breached its duty to consult.
