Bill C-15 requires the Government of Canada to make its laws consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and to prepare an action plan to implement the Declaration's objectives.

The Declaration itself—which is included in the bill's schedule—covers topics including Indigenous rights to self-determination, lands and territories, culture, education, health, and participation in decision-making.
