This panel discussion brings together Saul Joseph, Cassandra Paterson, and Robin Phillips to discuss the legal landscape of construction procurement, including pitfalls and tips for success for First Nations governments when issuing and responding to competitive opportunities. Drawing on practical experience and relevant case law, the panelists address how construction contracts are entered into, the legal framework governing competitive tendering, and the risks and obligations that arise throughout the procurement process.
