ACTION
PLAN AND STATUS REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
1
Indian and Northern Affairs Canada
provide an Action Plan to the Public Accounts Committee as per the commitment
made to the Committee on June 30, 2008, that describes how the Department
will implement the recommendations made in Chapter 3: Inuvialuit Final
Agreement of the Auditor General’s October 2007 Report.
A
revised Action Plan which sets out the actions required to fulfill each
recommendation was forwarded to the Committee in August 2008.
RECOMMENDATION
2
Indian
and Northern Affairs Canada provide the Public Accounts Committee with a status
report on its implementation of the recommendations contained in Chapter 3:
Inuvialuit Final Agreement of the Auditor General’s October 2007 Report by 31
March 2009.
Indian and
Northern Affairs Canada tracks its progress on management responses and action
plans developed in regard to the Auditor General recommendations on a
semi-annual basis. In addition the department provides, at mid-year and
year-end, to the Auditor General status updates on progress on all recommendations.
You will find attached the most recent update as of September 30, 2009 that was
approved at INAC Audit Committee in December 2009.
LAND
TRANSFERS
RECOMMENDATION
3
Indian
and Northern Affairs Canada provide confirmation to the Public Accounts
Committee that the transfer of land for the airport runway has occurred when
final approval has taken place and that all of the parties involved in the
transfer are content with the arrangements
The B&C
Airports Agreement was signed by all the parties in October 2009. Canada, as represented by Transport Canada and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, and the
Inuvialuit reached agreement to acquire the three airport properties located in
Sachs Harbour, Holman (Ulukhaktok) and Paulatuk. The survey of the three
airport properties has been completed and the parties are actively engaged in
completing the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Completion of the
agreement is expected in early 2010.
The Pingo
Canadian Landmark Land Exchange was finalized in July 2009 and the survey work
required to complete the agreement was finished in late summer 2009. This
transfer of lands fulfils Canada’s long outstanding obligation set out in the
IFA regarding the exchange of land for the Pingo Canadian Landmark.
RECOMMENDATION
4
Indian
and Northern Affairs Canada accelerate the development of guidelines to
transfer lands to the Inuvialuit to 31 December 2008 and provide the Public
Accounts Committee with a copy of the guidelines by that date.
Guidelines to
transfer lands have been refined and formalized and are now in full use by the
Parties. As of July 1, 2009, six sites have been vacated, cleaned up and
returned to the Inuvialuit. There are several more sites, used by the Canadian
Coast Guard, which are in the process of being released and returned to the
Inuvialuit. Of the remaining 15 sites, 8 continue to be actively used by
the original reserve holder and 7 are in various stages of being vacated,
remediated and released to the Inuvialuit. INAC and the Inuvialuit Land
Administration continue to work closely together toward administering the
processing of the 15 remaining sites.
CONTRACTING
OBLIGATIONS
RECOMMENDATION
5
Indian
and Northern Affairs Canada provide the Public Accounts Committee with a copy
of the updated Treasury Board Contracting Policy and that INAC provide an
explanation of how the updated policy reflects the obligations stated in the Inuvialuit
Final Agreement in its annual report on this Agreement.
Further
to Recommendation 5, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada will work with the
Inuvialuit to develop an explanation of how the updated policy reflects the
obligations stated in the Inuvialuit Final Agreement for inclusion in the Inuvialuit Final Agreement Annual Report of 2008 –
2009.
Collection
of information for the 2008-2009 Annual Report is underway. All parties have
agreed to use a new results-based reporting format for this annual report. Completion
of the report is expected for Spring 2010.
RECOMMENDATION
6
Indian
and Northern Affairs Canada work with its partners in the Inuvialuit Final
Agreement to clearly define “reasonable share” by 31 December 2008, and provide
a copy of this definition to the Public Accounts Committee.
The
resolution of the issue of “reasonable share” has been identified as a standing
item at the Inuvialuit Final Agreement Implementation Committee meeting. The
implementing parties of the Inuvialuit Implementation Committee have mutually
agreed to a one year hiatus on discussions of “reasonable share”. The Committee
has agreed to use the next year (until July 2010) to obtain and examine
quarterly federal contracting data from Canada beginning in August 2009, in
order to establish a better understanding of contracting in the settlement
region. Where there are issues emerging in the examination of the quarterly
contracting data, the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation will discuss with Canada ways in which they can work with federal departments in an attempt to revolve the
matter. Where information gaps are identified, Canada and the Inuvialuit Regional
Corporation will work together to address the issue and seek a solution as
required. A regular agenda item will be added to the Implementation Committee
agenda for the tabling and discussion of contracting data in the settlement
region as it becomes available. The eventual definition is intended to be
incorporated into learning material and guidance documents discussed above.
RECOMMENDATION
7
Indian
and Northern Affairs Canada ensure that the untendered contracts awarded under
the “reasonable share” provision of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement be priced in
a similar manner to other untendered contracts by including this in the
definition of “reasonable share”.
Indian and
Northern Affairs Canada will take this recommendation into consideration, and
examine its viability. Indian and Northern Affairs Canada will be working with
affected departments and agencies as well as the Inuvialuit to develop a
definition of "reasonable share" and endeavour to include this
recommendation in those discussions.
ECONOMIC
MEASURES REVIEW
RECOMMENDATION
8
Indian
and Northern Affairs Canada include in its annual reports on the Inuvialuit
Final Agreement a status report on the progress of the economic assessment and,
once the assessment has been completed, status reports on the response to
issues raised in the assessment.>
The
Economic Measures Working Group, established in 2007, hired a contractor to
visit the six major communities in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in 2009
with a mandate to identify and develop one viable, community-driven project in
each of the six communities. The process involved extensive community
consultation and participation. The contractor produced a project "short
list" for each community. This
list has been reviewed by each community; housing rental projects being a
prominent candidate in several communities. Preliminary networks are being
formed between potential investors, partners and lending institutions to
develop the shortlist projects.
At the IFA
Implementation Coordination Committee meeting on October 8, 2009, the
Inuvialuit Regional Corporation expressed appreciation for the work that Canada has put into this particular project and reiterated that "there is a real
feeling that something new is being tried here". A meeting of the Working
Group will be called in November to review the steps being taken on each of the
shortlisted projects. It is anticipated that some of the shortlisted projects
will move ahead by Spring 2010.
MONITORING
ACHIEVEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
RECOMMENDATION
9
Indian
and Northern Affairs Canada report on the progress made in achieving the Inuvialuit
Final Agreement’s principles in its annual report on this Agreement.
It
is anticipated that findings from the recently completed Impact Evaluation of
Comprehensive Land Claims, in which the Inuvialuit participated, will provide
baseline data that can be used to monitor future progress. The evaluation
addressed six broad issue areas corresponding to anticipated outcomes of the
agreements: fulfillment of Comprehensive Land Claims Agreement terms; clarity
and certainty; enhancement of working relationships; stable and predictable
environment for economic development; meaningful and effective voice for
Aboriginal people in decision- making; and community social and cultural
well-being.
INAC
has provided the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation with a copy of the evaluation
and requested that they select those indicators that appear to best address the
areas of implementation relevant to the IFA, in order that they may be
developed on a priority basis.
In
addition, discussions have taken place with the IFA Implementation Committee to
revise future annual reports to contain results-based information. This new
format for the 2008-2009 annual report is expected to be completed by April
2010.
ACCOUNTABLITY
RECOMMENDATION
10
Indian
and Northern Affairs publish its own annual report in a timely manner detailing
its progress in the implementation of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement even if it
does not have information from the other organisations involved in the
Agreement. This annual report should also document which partner organisations
have not provided information in time to be included in the report.
The
2007-2008 IFA annual report has been completed and translated and it is
anticipated that it will be published early in 2010. Tabling of the Annual
Report in Parliament will follow. Discussions have taken place with the
Inuvialuit Final Agreement Implementation Committee members for more results
based information in future reports. Work has accelerated on the reports in
response to the Committee’s recommendations.
RECOMMENDATION
11
Indian
and Northern Affairs Canada include a link in its Departmental Performance
Report to an online report that includes details of its own results-based
performance in the implementation of comprehensive land claims agreements.
INAC is
currently in the process of developing a more robust monitoring and reporting
system pertaining to the implementation of agreements and the status of the
obligations. In order to be more transparent the system will support reporting
against key implementation performance indicators noted in INAC’s Departmental
Performance Report.

Annex
R - As of July 1st, 2009, six sites have been vacated, cleaned up and
returned to the Inuvialuit. There are several more sites, mostly used by the
Coast Guard, which have been vacated and are being inspected with the
intention of returning them to the Inuvialuit. The remaining sites either,
continue to be actively used by the original reserve holder or are in the
process of being vacated and turned over to the Inuvialuit. INAC and the
Inuvialuit Land Administration continue to work closely together towards the
release of the remaining sites.
The
Pingo Canadian Landmark Land Exchange has been finalized and the survey work
required to complete the agreement was finished in late summer 2009. This
transfer of lands fulfils Canada’s long outstanding obligation set out in the
IFA regarding the exchange of land for the Pingo Canadian Landmark.
The
B&C Airports Agreement has recently been approved by the Deputy Minister
of Transport Canada. This fulfills an outstanding obligation to exchange a
parcel of land near the Inuvik Airport for the B&C Airports. |

notifying the Inuvialuit of contracts related to activities within the
Region;
-
awarding the Inuvialuit all contracts that are subject to public tender and
related to activities within the Region, when the Inuvialuit submit the best
bid;
-
awarding the Inuvialuit a reasonable share of contracts that are not subject
to public tender, that are related to activities within the Region, and for
which the Inuvialuit are capable of supplying the required goods and services
on a reasonable basis; and
-
providing the Inuvialuit with contracts that relate to activities within the
Region's national parks and landmark, on a preferred basis. |

The
Economic Measures working group hired a contractor to visit the six major
communities in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in 2009 with a mandate to
identify and develop one viable, community-driven project in each of the six
communities. The process involves extensive community consultation and
participation. The contractor produced a project "short list" for
each community, of which one project has been chosen for each community and
initial steps towards getting the new businesses started have been outlined.
At the IFA Implementation Coordination Committee meeting on October 8, 2009,
the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation expressed appreciation for the work that Canada has put into this particular project and reiterated that "there is a real
feeling that something new is being tried here". |

Recommendation. Indian and Northern Affairs Canada should develop a strategic
approach towards implementing Canada's obligations under the Inuvialuit Final
Agreement. Such an approach should, at a minimum
-
identify each of Canada's obligations and the appropriate federal
organizations to address them, and should clearly communicate their
obligations to these federal organizations;
-
develop a plan to implement federal obligations; and
-
regularly monitor and report to other signatories Canada's fulfillment of its
obligations. |

-
recenser chacune des obligations du Canada et déterminer les organisations
fédérales qui en sont responsables, et informer clairement ces organisations
de leurs responsabilités respectives;
-
élaborer un plan d'exécution des obligations fédérales;
-
assurer un suivi régulier du respect des obligations du Canada et en rendre
compte aux autres signataires. |

The
IFA was signed in 1984. The requirement for an implementation plan to
accompany all agreements was introduced in 1986 under the Comprehensive
Claims Policy. The IFA consequently had no formal implementation plan. In
spite of this, the department has identified that the IFA contains
approximately 90 obligations, 15 of which are one-time activities. Of those
15, two have not been completed. These involve land exchange obligations and
significant progress with parties to resolve the issues has been made, as
noted above in 3.30.
The
2007-2008 IFA annual report has been completed and translated. It should be
published by December 2009. Discussions have taken place with Inuvialuit
Final Agreement Implementation Committee members to revise future annual
reports, containing more results based information. Parties are aiming to
have this new format for the 2008-2009 annual report which is expected to be
completed by January 2010.
INAC
is also developing a 4-page annual reporting document which would highlight
current activities and challenges in implementing Comprehensive Land Claim
Agreements with the intent of making the document available to the public.
Furthermore,
INAC is currently in the process of developing a more robust monitoring and
reporting system pertaining to the implementation of agreements and more
notably, the status of the obligations. The enhanced monitoring and reporting
system will be fully populated by the winter of 2009-2010. The system will
support reporting against key implementation performance indicators noted in
INAC’s Departmental Performance Report. This provides for enhanced
transparency and accountability as to the implementation of federal
responsibilities. |

INAC
has provided the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation with a copy of the Impact
Evaluation of Comprehensive Land Claim Agreements and requested the Inuvialuit Regional
Corporation to select those indicators that appeared to best address the
areas of implementation relevant to the IFA. In addition, discussions have
taken place with the IFA ICC to revise future annual reports to contain
results-based information. This new format for the 2008-2009 annual report is
expected to be completed by April 2010. |
