The ISCC conducts impartial inquiries when a First Nation disputes rejection of their specific claim by the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, or when a First Nation disagrees with the compensation criteria prescribed by the Government in negotiating a settlement of their claim.

As well as conducting formal inquiries, the ISCC can, at the request of either party and with consent of both the Government and the First Nation(s), provide or arrange for such mediation services at any stage in the claims process that the ISCC believes may assist the parties in reaching an agreement in respect of any matter relating to an Indian specific claim.

This activity results in inquiries being held and reports written containing findings and recommendations to the Minister of Indian Affairs. Mediation results in better understanding between the parties, leading to agreement on the issues and development of innovative solutions that support efforts to resolve the Indian specific claim.

The key performance measure for these results is the number of inquiries and mediations accepted and undertaken by the Commission, and the number of reports written and distributed. The intended strategic outcome of these reports is a fair resolution of the Indian specific claim.
