Luc Laine

Based in our Canadian office, Mr. Lainé, is a member of the Huron Wendat Nation and former Delegated Chief within the Council of his First Nation.  For the last 30 years he has carried out, in both official languages (French and English), his professional activities across the country within many Canadian and Aboriginal organizations as well as in the private sector.

 

Mr. Lainé is deemed to be a valuable contributor by Native associations given his experience and his elaborate diplomatic approach. His involvement and knowledge of Aboriginal Peoples are an asset to any project team.  For example, he acted for more than five years as Co-chairman of the Assembly of First Nations of Canada, has worked for the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples as Deputy Director - Public Hearings Directorate, and was a senior Aboriginal coordinator within the Secretariat of the World Conference Against Racism sponsored by the United Nations.  

 

Mr. Lainé has always been a proud supporter of stable and respectful development and responsible governance. As a volunteer, he was a Board member of the National First Nations Governance Centre. The main objective of the Centre was to develop and deliver self-governance workshops for First Nation governments across Canada.

 

In 2005, Mr. Lainé was appointed by the Office of the Privy Council as Indigenous Commissioner of the 400th anniversary of Québec City which was held in 2008.

 

In recent years, he has mainly focused on facilitating access to funding for major projects for the benefit of private and public promoters.
