A revised oath of citizenship that will require new Canadians to faithfully observe the country's treaties with Indigenous people is nearly complete. The proposed new text was put to focus groups held by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada in March, following months of consultation by departmental officials. The proposed notes say the script should refer to ceremonies on traditional territories, and include remarks on the history of Indigenous people. When it comes to the oath, the inclusion of a reference to treaties is the only proposed change. The Liberals had originally been aiming to unveil both the new guide and oath around Canada Day, but work is ongoing.
