[...] • We promoted the collaborative Follow-up Report to the Canadian Human Rights Commission on the Human Rights of the Innu of Labrador, and also provided a written submission to the Senate Standing Committee on Aboriginal Peoples in support of its study of Bill C-15, An Act Respecting the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. [...] To clarify the specific and distinct role and responsibilities of the Federal Housing Advocate, the Office of the Advocate has engaged with numerous civil society stakeholders as well as with various levels of government to ensure that key stakeholders understand the new role and responsibilities of the Advocate. [...] This increase was the result of: increased funding received and continued growth under the Pay Equity Act, the Accessible Canada Act, and the National Housing Strategy Act; work performed in the creation of the new case management system; and the volume and service changes for the Commission’s Call Centre.
