- Aboriginal Rights, Resource Development, and the Source of the Provincial Duty to Consult in Haida Nation and Taku River
The main issues dealt with by the Supreme Court of Canada in its decisions in Haida Nation v. British Columbia (Minister of Forests) and Taku River Tlingit First Nation v. British Columbia (Project Assessment Director/ were the nature and scope of the provincial Crown's duty to consult with First Nations and accommodate their interests before authorizing resource development on lands subject to unestablished Aboriginal title claims. Those issues will not, however, be the focus of this article. Instead, I am going to discuss what, in my opinion, is a major preliminary issue lying largely hidden in both cases, namely the source and extent of provincial jurisdiction to infringe Aboriginal title for the purposes of resource development. In Haida Nation and Taku River, the Court assumed that British Columbia has authority to infringe Aboriginal title in appropriate circumstances for the purposes of forestry and mining, thereby triggering a duty to consult with the Aboriginal nations concerned. However, although logically that provincial authority to infringe must be present before the duty to consult can arise in these circumstances, its source was not explained or even identified....

- 'Anchored to the Land': Asserting and Recognising Aboriginal Jurisdiction in the Northwest Territories
This chapter of the edited collection 'Settling With Indigenous People' examines the recent history of Aboriginal land claims, self-government and resource development agreements in Canada's Northwest Territories. Through an analysis of the changing political and legal landscape of the Northwest Territories, the authors argue that the durability of these individual agreements will be dependent upon strategic interactions with the full spectrum of social, economic, political and governance or jurisdictional processes that affect the lives of local Aboriginal people. This argument resonates with experiences in other jurisdictions, including Australia....

- CIDA's Partnership with Mining Companies Fails to Acknowledge and Address the Role of Mining in the Creation of Development Deficits
In late 2011 the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development started to study the "Role of the Private Sector in Achieving Canada's International Development Interests." Among others, the Committee heard from the Executive Director of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada, as well as from a senior vice president of Teck Resources. Mining companies argue that they can deliver on Canada's international development interests in partnership with development NGOs. The Canadian International Development Agency, CIDA, is now funding three "Corporate Social Responsibility" (CSR) projects at Canadian mine sites overseas. MiningWatch does not believe that this constitutes a responsible use of public funds and that these CSR projects do not address the development deficits created by mining at the national and local levels in developing countries. This is our submission to the Standing Committee....

How do specific political, social and legal contexts shape corporate behaviour? What is the relationship between indigenous political action and CSR? How and to what extent can corporations be held accountable for their policies and actions? Can CSR help bring about a fundamental change in the distribution of benefits and costs from large-scale resource exploitation and, if so, under what conditions can this occur?...
