Drawing on presentations from the 30th Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Symposium and community-based sources, the article highlights how language encodes Lil'wat legal principles, ethical frameworks, and governance structures. Through immersion programs, curriculum development, and cultural teachings, the Nation is reasserting its jurisdiction and moving beyond Indian Act governance. Key concepts such as Ntákmen (our laws) and Nxékmen (our ways) illustrate how language revitalization is central to legislative reconciliation under Section 35 of the Constitution. Rather than translating colonial laws, Lil'wat defines governance on its own terms—grounded in language, land, and law. This case study offers a model for other Indigenous Nations: revitalizing language is not only cultural recovery—it is legal renewal and a critical pathway to Indigenous self-determination.</p>","PeriodicalId":46145,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Public Administration-Administration Publique Du Canada","volume":"68 3","pages":"470-486"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/capa.70035","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145426117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This question is the starting point that informs Arthur Benz's (<span>2024</span>) latest state-of-the-art monograph. It is an important and remarkable question to ask, considering that multilevel governance as a concept has become a real growth industry in political science since it emerged in the context of European integration in the early 1990s. Today, scholarship spans a broad spectrum of research areas like comparative federalism and regionalism (Benz, <span>2016</span>; Börzel & Risse, <span>2016</span>; Hooghe & Marks, <span>2016</span>), global governance (Zürn, <span>2010</span>, <span>2018</span>), municipal and regional governance (Conteh, <span>2020</span>; Tatham, <span>2021</span>), Indigenous-settler relations (Alcantara & Nelles, <span>2014</span>; Breen & Thomas, <span>2021</span>; Papillon, <span>2012</span>, <span>2015</span>) or European Integration (Hooghe & Marks, <span>2003</span>; Kohler-Koch & Rittberger, <span>2006</span>; Piattoni, <span>2009</span>, <span>2010</span>, for a general overview see Bache & Flinders, <span>2004</span>; Benz et al., <span>2021</span>; Enderlein et al., <span>2010</span>).</p><p>Although these developments appear to point towards an erosion of multilevel governance, Benz argues the opposite, empirically and normatively. Despite significantly changing contextual conditions, multilevel governance has not become irrelevant. On the contrary, we have many reasons to critically reflect on how the concept can be applied in the current context, and how multilevel governance can still facilitate legitimate and effective policy-making. In his latest book, Benz offers convincing conceptual and theoretical innovations as to how scholarship needs to “rethink” multilevel governance after more than 30 years of research.</p>","PeriodicalId":46145,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Public Administration-Administration Publique Du Canada","volume":"68 2","pages":"330-337"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/capa.70022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144635656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the transition of the RCMP from contract policing into a federal police force dedicated only to national security and federal law enforcement, like the FBI in the US, is recommended.
