Annex B: Status of Action Plan measures
This Annex provides an overview of the self-assessments departments and agencies were asked to complete for each of the Action Plan measures (APM) for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. Where there are multiple perspectives on individual APMs, these comments are reflected under Indigenous partner perspectives on implementation. Justice Canada performed an analysis to determine the overall APM status where multiple submissions were received for a single measure. This analysis provides a single value for various fields such as APM status, links to related Articles of the UN Declaration, links to other APMs, the work completed during 2024-2025, and if consultation and cooperation occurred. A similar analysis was performed for APMs where multiple Indigenous partners submissions were received.
