What is the IRPT?
The IRPT is a database and interactive dashboard that tracks payments made by resource companies to Indigenous governments and organizations across Canada since 2017 for the development and extraction of natural resources.
By aggregating reported payments under Canada’s Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act (ESTMA), the IRPT delivers unique insight into the financial compensation flowing to Indigenous organizations.
Who Uses the IRPT?
Users rely on the IRPT to track and analyze payments made to Indigenous groups for resource development, discover relationships between industry and Indigenous communities, learn about IBAs and other deals, benchmark payments, and make informed decisions across the energy and resource sectors.
Our platform empowers industry, Indigenous organizations, policymakers, and researchers with comprehensive and up-to-date insights on Indigenous participation in resource development.
