The CNSC’s policies and processes for consultation, engagement and collaboration with Indigenous Nations and communities, including its Indigenous Knowledge Policy Framework, support the Government of Canada’s implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The CNSC maintains a regulatory framework and is committed to building and maintaining the confidence of the public and Indigenous peoples through transparent, open and inclusive regulatory processes. It conducts licensing activities (including environmental protection reviews) and verifies and enforces licensee compliance with regulatory requirements.

The CNSC is also committed to consulting and engaging with Indigenous Nations and communities, with a focus on advancing reconciliation. To this end, it is modernizing its approach to consultation and engagement with Indigenous Nations and communities: this includes continuing to promote participation in the Indigenous and Stakeholder Capacity Fund and engaging an Indigenous advisor.

More information on the CNSC’s contributions to Canada’s Federal Implementation Plan on the 2030 Agenda and the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy can be found in the CNSC’s Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy.
