Cover title. Issued also in HTML format. Includes bibliographical references. "A core theme of this Directive is to advance an approach to litigation that promotes resolution and settlement, and seeks opportunities to narrow or avoid potential litigation. Indigenous peoples are entitled to choose their preferred forum to resolve legal issues, and some matters will require legal clarification. Indeed, litigation may be necessary and important in order to obtain guidance from the courts. This may involve, in appropriate cases, the pursuit of appeals or other judicial remedies by Indigenous parties or by the Crown. However, litigation cannot be the primary forum for achieving reconciliation. Where litigation is unavoidable, this Directive instructs that Canada’s approach to litigation should be constructive, expeditious, and effective in assisting the court to provide direction"--Core objectives, p. 6. gccst Litigation gccst Aboriginal peoples Canada.
