The Department has launched an engagement process in response to the Minister’s commitment on December 18, 2015 to work in full partnership with First Nations leadership and organizations on transparency and accountability.

In the coming weeks we will be communicating with you about upcoming opportunities to engage on this topic. In the meantime, I would like to encourage you to go to the Department’s engagement website http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1470148030165/1470148069987 , where you can complete an on-line survey http://aadnc-aandc.simplesurvey.com/Engine/Default.aspx?surveyID=C96AD0AE-E956-4759-8E50-8E2ACC1D7863&idlang=EN to share your perspective and ideas on improving mutual transparency and accountability. I would also encourage you to share this information with your staff and community members.

The on-line survey will be available on our website for six to eight weeks.  We are looking forward to hearing your views on this important subject.
