In 2016, the justice minister said:

Simplistic approaches such as adopting the United Nations declaration as being Canadian law are unworkable and, respectfully, a political distraction to undertaking the hard work actually required to implement it back home in communities....

I would presume that the justice minister has at her disposal many comprehensive briefings. This was a planned speech, so what has changed such that something that was unworkable in 2016 is now quite workable in 2017-18?
