A public hearing, put on by the standing committee on Indigenous and Northern affairs, will hear testimonies from nine Indigenous groups from the Northwest Territories today on how the federal government has handled outstanding, specific claims and on-going land claims, including self-government agreements.

Monday's hearing is part of a series of meetings that have been held across the country within the past month. They're in response to the auditor general's 2016 report on First Nations specific claims — historic agreements that weren't met — and the former Department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada.

"Overall, we found that Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada did not adequately manage the resolution of First Nations specific claims," the report says.

"Certain of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada's practices did not encourage negotiations, funding to First Nations was arbitrary and inconsistent, and information sharing between the Department and First Nations was limited."

The committee is chaired by MaryAnn Mihychuk, Liberal MP and former employment minister. Other members include Gary Anandasangaree, a Liberal MP from Scarborough, Ont. and Arnold Viersen, a Conservative MP from Peace River, Alta.
