In 2007, Canada offered an economic development and land purchase deal to the nine Dakota and Lakota bands in Manitoba and Saskatchewan -- $6.7 million for each band ($60.3 million in total) in exchange for each band signing waivers that would release Canada from any future claims by the bands for aboriginal or treaty rights, rights to future land claims, or any new hunting, trapping or fishing rights. According to the Dakota bands' attorney, Bruce Slusar, Canada typically will either negotiate or litigate, but never both at the same time -- what he called a "fairly standard approach" with respect to relations with First Nations.
This paper sets the current debate about Canada's criminal law prohibiting polygamy in an historical, social and legal context, and argues that this law is constitutionally valid and sound social policy. Unlike the recognition of same-sex marriage, which promoted equality and saved government resources, the recognition of polygamy would promote inequality and impose costs on Canadian society. The social reality of polygamy is often exploitative of women and harmful to children, and its practice is contrary to fundamental Canadian values. If Canada's prohibition on polygamy is ruled unconstitutional, we would likely have to allow immigration by polygamous families.

The committee is concerned that, despite Canada's economic prosperity and the reduction of the number of people living below the Low Income Cut Off (poverty indicator), 11.2 per cent of its population still lived in poverty in 2004," says the 11-page report. The panelists urge Ottawa to provide "adequate child-care services" as a way of allowing women to exercise their right to work, as guaranteed by the covenant. "It's not clear what the United Nations has against low-income workers because raising the minimum wage inevitably pushes many of them outside the workforce," said Fred McMahon, international studies director with the Fraser Institute. "The United Nations should recognize that Canada is a democracy, and that we just elected a government that has a right to set its own policie...
