The First Nations Financial Management Board ("the FMB") supports the creation of a Canadian Sustainability Standards Board ("CSSB") that acknowledges, respects and reflects Indigenous Rights in Canada. To do this, First Nations, Inuit and Metis Peoples must have a voice in both Canadian and international standard setting activities and have a permanent seat in all national standard and regulation setting bodies. The accounting and assurance profession, including CPA Canada and its provincial regulatory bodies, must do more to increase the number of Indigenous Peoples represented in executive leadership, governing bodies and standard setting boards.
The FMB is pleased to provide you with comments on the Consultation Paper.
