Government Commitments to Truth and Reconciliation

Framework Agreement

January 15, 2019

The Framework Agreement represents an important commitment from the Government of Canada, the Province of Prince Edward Island and the Mi’kmaq of PEI towards a path of reconciliation. With this agreement, we move forward together in strengthening the relationship between the federal and provincial Crown and the Mi’kmaq of PEI. In particular, the Framework Agreement outlines subject matters and areas of importance for the Mi’kmaq, establishes a process to facilitate efficient and timely discussions, and reaffirms parties’ commitment to a process for reconciling and respecting the Mi’kmaq of Prince Edward Island’s Aboriginal and treaty rights.
