The duty of the federal and provincial Crown to consult with Aboriginal peoples is well-established in law; the application of this duty in the administrative law context is less clearly developed. Join our panel of experts as they explore the issues, including:

• Deconstructing recent developments and case law: How has the law evolved since the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. v. Carrier Sekani Tribal? What are the implications of the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision, in Tsilqhot'in Nation v. British Columbia, for the duty to consult in the administrative law context?
• Determining the tribunal's authority to consider duty to consult issues
• What are the responsibilities of the tribunal, and do these responsibilities differ from those of the court? The Crown?
