The continuing existence of the ministry alongside the NLC is an abiding source of difficulty for the commission, preventing clarity on roles. A unique jurisdiction of the NLC, one that the ministry cannot replicate, is its constitutional mandate to address historical land injustices. More recently, the NLC was presented with the opportunity to address ownership questions over the land on which Weston Hotel is built. The establishment of an independent commission to manage public land has not worked. The NLC is vulnerable to the same political pressure as the predecessor mechanisms.
