Q

How does immigration involve the

collective rights of Aboriginal peoples?

A

• Aboriginal peoples are partners in Canada. They have collective rights under the constitution and a reasonable expectation to be consulted when the government of Canada makes decisions that fundamentally shape the future of the country.
• Treaties and agreements between First Nations, Inuit, or Métis peoples and the government of Canada create a commitment for Canada and Aboriginal peoples to work together and share prosperity. Some Aboriginal peoples, however, continue to face health, education, and employment challenges linked to poverty and the impact of past policies and laws.
• These challenges can create obstacles to full participation in Canada’s economy for individuals from First Nations, Inuit, or Métis communities. For example, some people can face difficulty gaining access to educational, training, and employment opportunities. Where such conditions exist, they can create issues, especially during times when Canada needs more skilled workers and professionals, and seeks to fill
these roles partly through immigration.
