Domestic dimensions / by Renée Dupuis and Kent McNeil.: Z1-1991/1-41-6-2E-PDF

Consistent with the terms of reference set by the Royal Commission, this paper analyzes the Crown's fiduciary obligations from the perspective of Canadian domestic law in the context of accession to sovereignty by Quebec. We begin by defining a few elements essential to establishing the context for this study. The first part of the paper focuses on the sources of the Crown's fiduciary obligations to the Aboriginal peoples of Canada - and, in particular, to Aboriginal peoples in Quebec - under current constitutional arrangements. The second part deals with the general nature of the obligations, concentrating on an analysis of the obligations with respect to the right of Aboriginal self-government and Aboriginal land rights. The final part examines the scope of the fiduciary obligations based on a number of assumptions about an accession to sovereignty by Quebec.
