Indigenous Rights Statement Act
Requires the federal government to table a statement alongside every new bill explaining how it might affect Indigenous Peoples' rights under the Constitution, whether it aligns with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and whether Indigenous peoples were consulted during its development.

Every time Parliament considers new legislation, Canadians and Indigenous communities would be able to see upfront whether the government believes the bill respects Indigenous rights and whether Indigenous peoples were actually consulted before the bill was introduced.
