Her mandate letter called for a review of the government's litigation strategy to "end appeals or positions inconsistent with the government's commitments, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, or Canadian values".[1] As part of that commitment, on January 11, 2019, she issued the Directive on Civil Litigation Involving Indigenous Peoples.[43][44] The directive guides the Government of Canada's legal approaches, positions and decisions taken in civil litigation involving Aboriginal and treaty rights, and the Crown's obligation towards Indigenous peoples. In 2017 she published the first-ever Litigation Year in Review[45] with a subsequent edition in 2018.[46]
