Specific Claims Policy & Process Guide
  • This publication discusses the process of the specific claims policy, which began in 1982 and had amendments made in the early 1990's.
  • In 2007, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced a plan called the Justice at Last: Specific Claims Action Plan, which included plans to accelerate specific claims for Indigenous peoples, to make the process fair, transparent, and faster (while not sacrificing quality), and to implement the Specific Claims Tribunal Act.
  • All of such additions were intended to help Indigenous peoples achieve justice in a more timely manner.
  • This page discusses further details of the Action Plan, the details of the specific claims policy, the process of specific claims, and more.
