- This bill, called the Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement Act, has two main parts. Part 1 enacts the Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement and makes related and consequential amendments to other Acts. This means that it puts into effect the Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement and makes changes to other laws to align with it. Part 2 amends the Sechelt Indian Band Self-Government Act.
