The INAC regional coordinators will provide participating First Nations with information and training sessions/materials for portal use. During these sessions, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, raise concerns, and provide the department with feedback on the progress of the SRI and make suggestions for improvement. Regional coordinators will ask for the names and contact information of individuals who are approved to act as Portal users on behalf of their First Nation. Portal users must be permitted by the First Nation to read, complete, and submit the contents of the First Nation’s reports, which may contain sensitive information. Q.13. What support will pilot participants have during the pilot? A.13. The Department is committed to ensuring pilot participants are supported throughout the pilot period. A technical support team will be available to answer questions and address any issues that users may encounter while reporting through the online portal. INAC regional coordinators will hold training sessions and will provide support to First Nation participants on an ongoing basis once the project has been fully launched, and as requested by participants. The Department’s Regional Offices will continue to provide support to First Nation pilot participants on completing their reporting requirements. Questions concerning the content of reports, what a specific report is asking for, and reporting deadlines can be answered by your regional pilot coordinators. Q.14. What happened to the First Nation led workshops to discuss the data that is important from a First Nations perspective? A.14. A number of developments have occurred since we proposed these workshops. The Government of Canada’s implementation of the Departmental Results Framework and the work underway on the New Fiscal Relationship as well as efforts by First Nation organizations looking at data governance issues all stand to have a significant impact on what and how data is collected. The Chief Finances, Results and Delivery Officer Sector will be proposing options for a shared/mutual outcome-based accountability framework to demonstrate results to citizens, First Nations communities, government, and Parliament in closing socio-economic disparities and inequalities. These initiatives will lead the direction of reporting in partnership with First Nations moving forwards. align to OCAP Q.15. How does this work (Ownership, Control, Access and Possession)? A.15. At this time, the data that INAC collects is not considered OCAP compliant.
