Abstract

This chapter evaluates the potential for the governance of access and benefitsharing in Canada through the lens of different layers of government: federal, provincial, territorial and Indigenous. The emphasis of the chapter is on how the nation-to-nation approach could be an effective way to integrate Indigenous peoples’ claim to genetic resources (GR) and their traditional knowledge (TK) as aspects of their self-determination. A nation-to-nation approach recognizes Indigenous peoples as stakeholders in access and benefitsharing (ABS) in ways that advance the pursuit of justice and reconciliation in Canada. With the backdrop of ongoing policy initiatives and multifaceted attempts at renewing Canadian-Indigenous relations, the chapter underscores the federal government’s role in driving the charge. It will also require a commitment on the part of provincial governments, and overall political will across Canada, to draw in Indigenous peoples as genuine partners in order to fully integrate their legal traditions. Before Canada can implement the Nagoya Protocol, and any other ABS vision for that matter, all governments need to take the nation-to-nation mantra seriously and to articulate the legal status of GR and TK in Canada.
加拿大三项政府法令的演变对ABS实施的启示
本章通过联邦、省、地区和土著政府的不同层面,评估了加拿大在获取和利益分享方面的治理潜力。本章的重点是国家对国家的方法如何成为一种有效的方法,将土著人民对遗传资源(GR)的要求及其传统知识(TK)作为其自决的各个方面加以整合。国家对国家的做法承认土著人民是获取和利益分享(ABS)的利益相关者,以促进加拿大追求正义与和解的方式。在持续的政策倡议和多方面的尝试更新加拿大原住民关系的背景下,这一章强调了联邦政府在推动这项指控方面的作用。它还需要各省政府的承诺,以及加拿大各地的整体政治意愿,以吸引土著人民作为真正的伙伴,以便充分整合他们的法律传统。在加拿大实施《名古屋议定书》和其他ABS愿景之前,所有政府都需要认真对待国与国之间的咒语,并阐明GR和TK在加拿大的法律地位。
