Canada’s human rights watchdog welcomes First Nations child welfare decision
“The Canadian Human Rights Commission is very pleased with this decision. Recognizing the work that has been done by the Parties since January 2016, the decision will bring much needed focus in implementing what remains to be done as soon as possible.

That, above all else, is the true measure of success, and the Commission is eager to move forward with all parties to make that happen.”
