DRIPA's own Section 1(3) says: 'Nothing in this Act, nor anything done under this Act, abrogates or derogates from the rights recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982.' In November 2024, Parliament passed Bill S-13, which amended the federal Interpretation Act to add section 8.3 — a non-derogation clause explicitly upholding section 35 rights. S-13 deliberately stopped short of giving UNDRIP constitutional supremacy. The Supreme Court of Canada's framework for section 35 reconciliation, set in R v Sparrow (1990), remains intact. DRIPA builds on that framework — it does not bypass it.
