CTA 48 called on all faith groups in Canada to \u201cformally adopt and comply with the principles, norms, and standards of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) as a framework for reconciliation.\u201d The UNDRIP was passed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007, and the Holy See Permanent Observer to the UN has explicitly endorsed this Declaration on numerous occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On December 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, 2020, the Honorable David Lametti, Federal Minister of Justice, introduced Bill C-15, which would require the Government of Canada, in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous peoples, to take all measures necessary to ensure that the laws of Canada are consistent with the rights of Indigenous peoples set out in the UNDRIP. Bill C-15 reflects Bill C-262 and takes it further. C-262 had been introduced by NPD MP Romeo Saganash in 2016 and was adopted by a majority of federal MPs, only to be blocked by Conservative Senators in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The support of Churches, institutes of consecrated life and organizations who answered CTA 48 is requested for Bill C-15. In order to present in more detail the bill of law, its consequences for Indigenous Peoples in Canada, and its next steps, you are invited to a webinar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>For more information\u00a0:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Catholic response to CTA 48:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/crc-canada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Catholic-Response-Call-to-Action-48.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/crc-canada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Catholic-Response-Call-to-Action-48.pdf<\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Information and invitation to support Bill C-15:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithinthedeclaration.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.faithinthedeclaration.ca\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The webinar<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>February 18<\/strong> at 7:00 pm (EST) there will be a learning event \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.ca\/e\/canada-the-churches-bill-c-15-le-canada-les-eglises-et-le-projet-de-tickets-140299007107\">Canada, the Churches, and Bill C-15<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201d\u00a0sponsored by \u201c<\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #009fe3;\"><a style=\"color: #009fe3;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.faithinthedeclaration.ca\/\">Faith in the Declaration<\/a><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #009fe3;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201d<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">: A coalition of faith houses and organizations in support of UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The event will include conversation on why The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples legislation is important to Canadian churches.
