Community Engagement period begins on draft Regulations for Administrative Tribunal

10/04/2022

The Justice Services Division of the Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) wishes to inform the community that a two (2) week community consultation period begins today with regard to regulations being developed for the Administrative Tribunal. The first phase of the consultation is the invitation for Kahnawa�kehr�:non to participate in a Survey (click here).

An Information Sheet is included to assist those participating in the survey.

The Administrative Tribunal is an important component of the Kahnaw�:ke justice system and is intended to resolve various legal disputes in a manner that is more flexible, efficient and cost effective than traditional court systems.   

Draft regulations have been in development for several months.

�Creating an Administrative Tribunal that is workable, independent and, most important, is trusted by the community has been a priority,� said Commissioner of Justice Kevin Fleischer. �Kiosks will be held at the Tewatohnhi�saktha Lobby (next to the Post Office)  on Friday, October 7th  (8:30am � 4 pm) and at the Caisse Populaire Kahnaw�:ke lobby on Thursday, October 13th (12 noon � 7pm) where interested persons can ask questions, make comments, and fill out surveys. The intent is to make sure that we are headed in a direction that reflects the community�s expectations.�

Hard copies of the Information Sheet and Survey will be available at the kiosks.
