Assessment accommodation

Canada, through the creation of Indigenous Services Canada and Crown Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, has demonstrated a commitment to ensure that we are working with Indigenous Peoples to measure progress and improve service delivery on an ongoing basis. This is founded on a principle of a renewed, nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous Peoples, based on recognition of rights, respect, co-operation, and partnership.

Indigenous Services Canada is committed to the identification of the best models for delivering improved services to Indigenous Peoples and improve accountability to Indigenous Peoples for the quality of services delivered, including:
- work to leverage the ingenuity and understanding of Indigenous Peoples as well as experts from the private sector, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments and international experts on service delivery. It will be expected for you to assess how Indigenous Peoples experience the delivery of government services on a day-to-day basis and identify ways to improve delivery that are holistic, community-based, and put
the needs of the person first.
