FIRST NATIONS G UIDELINES FOR CONSULTATION
2.3.1
Guidelines Developed by First Nations
Since 2004, a number of First Nations have drafted and adopted policies or guidelines
related to consultation.
The emergence of these guidelines represents a new development in the nature of First
Nation expectations regarding consultation, and set out specific policies, practices and
approaches to guide the consultation process.
Specific aspects of the guidelines and policies are incorporated in the Consultation Fact
Sheets that accompany this report (Appendix A).
