- Title
Toward the full and proper implementation of Jordan's Principle: An elusive goal to date.
- Authors
Blackstock, Cindy
- Abstract
The author observes that the Canadian federal government has adopted a narrow definition of the Jordan's Principle stating that when a dispute arises regarding public services for a First Nation child, the government of first contact pays for the service and addresses payment disputes later. She informs that the narrow definition has been found to be unlawful by the Federal Court of Canada and the Human Rights Tribunal. She also mentions that First Nations children experience service delays.
