  1. All organizations that receive recommendations should prepare an annual report following up on the recommendations that:
    1. indicates whether each recommendation is (a) accepted, (b) accepted in part, or (c) rejected
    2. provides an explanation for any recommendations that are not accepted in whole or in part and indicates an alternative approach to achieve the same aim
    3. indicates, for all recommendations that are accepted, whether implementation is (a) pending, (b) in progress, or (c) complete
    4. provides a detailed update regarding the steps that have been taken and are planned with respect to the implementation of the accepted recommendations
    5. is sent by email to any person who requests to receive a copy
    6. is prepared each year for delivery at 10 a.m. on the anniversary date of the release of the inquest recommendations (until the party has provided an annual report indicating that all of the recommendations it received have either been rejected or implemented).
  2. The organizations receiving recommendations should endeavour to agree on a process whereby the annual reports will be posted in a central location on the internet (e.g. on a website of one of the organizations). Acknowledging that the First Nations parties who receive recommendations have limited resources, those parties should prioritize actual actions responding to recommendations over reporting on those actions and should only be expected to provide annual reports if they have the resources to do so.
  3. Organizations that accept recommendations should revise their current policies to reflect new tasks and procedures.
