Supreme Court of Canada decisions have defined a general framework for the "duty to consult" Aboriginal peoples and accomodate their concerns over natural resource development, but anticipate the details of that framework will be expanded upon in the future. Aboriginal Consultation, Environmental Assessment, and Regulatory Review in Canada offers a paradigm that advances that discussion. It proposes an integrated and robust planning model for natural resource planning model for natural resource extraction allowing Aboriginal peoples, industry, governments, tribunals, and the Courts to all make contributions to reconciliation in the context of sustainable development and environmental protection. Kirk Lambrecht surveys the law of actual and asserted Aboriginal rights and historical and modern Treaty rights in Canada and discusses the national and international purposes of environmental assessment and regulatory review. He appraises the fundamental principles of Supreme Court of Canada jurisprudence defining aboriginal consultation and accommodation as a constitutional imperative and uses case studies involving the National Energy Board to demonstrate how integrated process has evolved over time. Finally he offers general conclusions on the practical utility, and outstanding challenges, involving an integrated planning paradigm.

Aboriginal Justice and the Charter examines and seeks to resolve the tension between Aboriginal approaches to justice and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. David Milward asks why Aboriginal communities seek reform and identifies some of the constitutional barriers in their path. He identifies specific areas of the criminal justice process in which Aboriginal communities may wish to adopt different approaches, tests these approaches against constitutional imperatives, and offers practical proposals for reconciling the various matters at stake. This bold exploration grapples with the difficult question of how Aboriginal justice systems can be fair to their constituents but still comply with the protections guaranteed to all Canadians by the Charter.

"The changes in Canadian law relating to the constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and treaty rights is rapidly changing and is unprecedented in its scope and the speed at which change is occuring. Canada is unique globally in its approach to protecting - at a constitutional level - the Aboriginal and treaty rights of Aboriginal people. However, while great progress has been made in the developing and sophisticated case law to date from the Supreme Court of Canada, particularly since its 1990 decision in 'R. v. Sparrow,' we are but barely through the first chapter of what will be the substantial and continually evolving book on the uniquely Canadian constitutional approach to addressing Aboriginal and treaty rights at law."-- Preface.
