The Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act assign overall responsibility to the President of Treasury Board (as the designated Minister) for the government-wide administration of the legislation.
The Treaty Commission fulfills three main functions:
The Treaty Commission was co-established in 1992 through the signing of the British Columbia Treaty Commission Agreement (BCTC Agreement) by the governments of Canada and British Columbia, and the First Nations Summit (collectively referred to as the “Principals”). Federal and provincial legislation was subsequently passed, legally establishing the independent nature of the BC Treaty Commission.
In 2018, its mandate was enhanced to include supporting negotiating Parties in implementing the UN Declaration, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s (TRC) 94 Calls to Action, the Principles Respecting the Government of Canada’s Relationship with Indigenous Peoples, and the recognition of First Nations title and rights. The Treaty Commission and its work continue to be guided by the Report of the British Columbia Claims Task Force (Task Force Report) and its 19 recommendations.
The Treaty Commission is comprised of a Chief Commissioner, four Commissioners, and 11 staff members.
