CDRP Submission Forms

If, as a First Nation Class Member, you have delivered to ISC under Section 9.06 of the Settlement a written notice and a Remediation Plan and:

Ninety days have passed since delivering the written notice and Remediation Plan and you have determined that ISC has not met its Commitment under the Settlement; or
You have determined at any time that ISC is not complying with a Remediation Plan that it agreed to implement;

then you may seek to resolve this dispute through the CDRP.

The first step of this process is to complete and deliver this Collaborative Negotiations Notice to ISC, thereby formally triggering the CDRP (If Collaborative Negotiations fail to resolve the dispute, a similar Mediation Notice should be delivered to ISC. If Mediation fails to resolve the dispute a similar Arbitration Notice should be delivered to ISC.)

SECTION A – THE “COMMITMENT” NOT BEING MET

Aligned with section 9.02 of the Settlement Agreement, do the homes in question have regular access to drinking water, whether from a public water system or a private water system approved by a band council resolution, that meets the stricter of the federal requirements or provincial standards governing residential water quality? If not, please describe the way in which the Commitment is not being met.

Note: Regular access permits all usual and necessary uses of water in a similarly situated Canadian home, including but not limited to drinking water, bathing and personal hygiene, food preparation and dishwashing, sanitation, and laundry.
