Collaborative Process for Indian Registration, Band Membership, and First Nation Citizenship Consultation Plan
  • In lieu of the August 2015 Descheneaux case, which exposed the gender inequality of Indian registration in Canada, broader concerns were raised with regards to decades of unaddressed issues in obtaining Indian registration, band membership, and First Nations citizenship.
  • This policy discusses the federal government's commitment to developing a collaborative process (from October 31, 2017–March 31, 2018) on issues pertaining to Indian registration, band membership, and First Nation citizenship, especially following the Descheneaux decision and the implementation of Bill S-3, to address concerns raised by Indigenous communities.
