Nations Ombudsman to assist persons dealing with a First Nation or one
First Nation dealing with another, if they are dealt with unfairly or
unreasonably or with unreasonable delay. The Ombudsman may
investigate complaints and report to the Minister on complaints that are
not satisfactorily resolved.

If a First Nation fails to change its policies and practices at the
suggestion of the Ombudsman, the Ombudsman shall make a report to
the Minister and the report must then be laid before Parliament.
