Mission:
The NIEDB is committed to providing advice and guidance to the federal government on issues related to Indigenous economic opportunities that enable the Indigenous peoples of Canada to have a voice in government policy.
Ministerial appointments are appointments made under the authority of a Minister that do not require the approval of the Governor in Council.
A Minister’s authority to make ministerial appointments may come from a variety of sources, including federal and provincial legislation, federal/provincial/territorial and international agreements, and the documents that create, continue or establish an organization.
Through advice and recommendations to the Government of Canada, the NIEDB’s work will aim to engage urban, rural and remote Indigenous communities alike in developing policy recommendations that respond to the circumstances of the wide variety of Indigenous communities across Canada.
