Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon, Governor General of Canada, delivered a keynote address at the Canadian Bar Association’s Aboriginal Law Conference.

The Canadian Bar Association’s Aboriginal Law Section serves as an enduring source and voice on matters of concern to the Aboriginal law community, and holds conferences annually to inform members on practice issues, important cases and legislation of concern to Indigenous peoples, access to justice, Aboriginal and treaty rights, land claims, constitutional reform, administration of justice and Indigenous laws. This year, the focus of the conference is on self-governance.
