Canada: First Nations child welfare case gets underway in Federal Court today
Canadian Press – June 14, 2021
Ottawa’s legal challenge of two rulings involving First Nations children taken from their families by an underfunded child-welfare system will be heard in Federal Court today. The federal government has filed for a judicial review of two Canadian Human Rights Tribunal rulings – one that awarded First Nations children inappropriately taken away from their parents after 2006 $40,000 each and to their parents and grandparents, and the second that expanded Jordan’s Principle to children who live off-reserve or who are not registered under the Indian Act.
