- Circumstance
- This handmade gift was presented to me during my visit to Cross Lake while attending meetings in the community. It reflects the richness of Indigenous art, history, and culture, and shows the exceptional skill and craftsmanship of Indigenous artisans.
In recognition of the gift’s cultural significance and symbolic meaning, the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner has determined, in accordance with subsection 11(3) of the Conflict of Interest Act, that it is not to be forfeited to His Majesty in right of Canada. I am therefore able to proudly wear it as a representation of the talent, heritage, and traditions of Indigenous communities. - Gift received date
