Purpose of the Guidelines
In 2004 the Government agreed to a CMRI policy framework designed to:
- increase consistency between CMRI
- increase awareness of the agreements executed across the state sector
- contribute to the living relationship envisaged by both parties to the Treaty of Waitangi
- assist the development of robust relationships between the Crown and Māori.
The purpose of these Guidelines, therefore, is to assist compliance with the CMRI policy framework.
HOW TO USE THESE GUIDELINES:
There are checklists on pages 35 and 36. Please use them, and refer to the document for further information. The highlighted text in purple are the Cabinet decisions.
