"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1911237\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yes, and really, the mandates of the various commissions--federal, provincial, and territorial--are based on the constitutional powers of each. The federal commission has those powers the federal government has, so as the chief commissioner indicated at the outset, we cover all federal departments and agencies and federally regulated employers, whereas the provinces have jurisdiction within those provinces. If it doesn't fall to the federal government, it falls to the provincial.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1911238\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are some issues that might occur on a first nations community that would fall within provincial jurisdiction--for example, employment law--but they would not also fall to us. So there is no concurrent jurisdiction, but there is sometimes uncertainty as to where it lies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1911239\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The chief commissioner referenced CASHRA. There is a working group of lawyers studying the very issue of jurisdiction in the first nations context--the aboriginal context, more broadly speaking--to know which side it would fall on.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1911237\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Oui, et en r\u00e9alit\u00e9, le mandat des diverses commissions \u2014 f\u00e9d\u00e9rale, provinciales et territoriales \u2014 est fond\u00e9 sur les pouvoirs constitutionnels qu\u2019elles d\u00e9tiennent. La commission f\u00e9d\u00e9rale jouit des pouvoirs qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 conf\u00e9r\u00e9s au gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral. Donc, comme la pr\u00e9sidente l\u2019a indiqu\u00e9 au d\u00e9but, nous nous occupons de tous les minist\u00e8res et les organismes f\u00e9d\u00e9raux, et des employeurs assujettis \u00e0 la l\u00e9gislation f\u00e9d\u00e9rale, tandis que tout ce qui se trouve \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur des provinces rel\u00e8ve des comp\u00e9tences provinciales. Si une entit\u00e9 ne rel\u00e8ve pas du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, elle est de comp\u00e9tence provinciale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1911238\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Certaines questions qui pourraient \u00eatre soulev\u00e9es au sein d\u2019une collectivit\u00e9 des premi\u00e8res nations rel\u00e8vent des provinces \u2014 par exemple, celles li\u00e9es au droit du travail. Dans ces cas-l\u00e0, elles ne rel\u00e8vent pas aussi de nous. Il n\u2019y a donc pas de comp\u00e9tence partag\u00e9e, mais parfois il est difficile de d\u00e9terminer de qui rel\u00e8ve une certaine question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1911239\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La pr\u00e9sidente a fait allusion \u00e0 l\u2019ACCCDP. Un groupe de travail compos\u00e9 d\u2019avocats \u00e9tudie actuellement la question des comp\u00e9tences dans le contexte des premi\u00e8res nations \u2014 le contexte autochtone, en termes plus g\u00e9n\u00e9raux \u2014 afin de d\u00e9terminer \u00e0 qui chacune d\u2019elle appartient. </p>"
