Report 3 - Implementing the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement: The objective of the audit was to determine whether federal departments and agencies (Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), Parks Canada, Fisheries and Oceans (DFO)) have implemented selected obligations as defined in the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement (LILCA) and related sub-agreements, which include Fiscal Financing and the Parks Benefits and Impacts Agreement.

ECCC was included because of its obligations under Chapter 7 of the LILCA (Economic Development). Specifically, the audit examined whether contracts were issued to Inuit businesses and whether the information was shared with INAC for inclusion in the CLCA.net [Comprehensive Land Claims Agreement] contracting database (per the Treasury Board Contracting Policy). The audit did not directly examine the contracting process itself.

One recommendation was made to ECCC in this audit, which also includes Parks Canada and DFO.
