Information Package on the Implementation of First Nations Rights and Jurisdiction in Relation to Child and Family Services

C0950

In February 2024, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered the landmark decision to uphold the validity of the Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families. Since then, several communities have expressed interest in developing and implementing their own child and family services legislation. To guide them, this information kit includes:

  • Information on the principles of the Act and the exercise of First Nations jurisdiction.
  • A template of an act (draft).
  • Opinion templates to support discussions.
