The SCC [Supreme Court of Canada] held that the Crown's duty to consult Aboriginal peoples is grounded upon the concept of the honour of the Crown, a core precept that finds its application in concrete practices. The Crown's duty to consult is triggered when the Crown has "knowledge, real or constructive, of the potential existence of the Aboriginal right or title and contemplates conduct that might adversely affect it.

All official Honours in Canada stem from the Queen of Canada. For this reason the Crown is known as "the Fount of Honour"("fount" means "source" or "origin"). In a monarchy, Honours do not come from the people or from the country, they are a mark of the Sovereign's favour. Canadians who serve the Queen of Canada through their work for the country receive the Queen's State Honours established by Her Majesty and administered on her behalf by the Governor-General of Canada through the Honours Secretariat. 1, record 5, English, - Fount%20of%20Honour
