I am a Witness: Tribunal Timeline & Documents

On September 29th, 2021, Justice Favel of the Federal Court issued a decision on two cases of judicial review put forward by Canada in regards to orders made by the CHRT. 

The FNCIS-2019 report report summarizes the major findings for the First Nations Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse & Neglect-2019 (FN/CIS-2019). It was released on September 27, 2021. The information sheets summarizing the report are linked below. 

On September 24, 2021, Canada filed for Judicial Review on the Letter Decision issued by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal on August 26, 2021. 

Parties submit responses to the CHRT in regards to the August 26, 2021 letter decision and other unresolved issues before the Tribunal. 

On August 26, 2021, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal issued a letter-decision to clarify and reinforce previous rulings for the purpose of ongoing negotiations and communication between all the parties. The CHRT confirms that funding of buildings and additional capital assets that support the delivery of FNCFS and Jordan's Principle programs and prevention services must be provided to FNCFS agencies, including small agencies and First Nations. This letter-decision serves as a precursor to a larger order accompanied by reasons. 

The Caring Society writes to Canada regarding concerns of non-compliance with CHRT orders regarding Jordan's Principle. 

The Attorney General of Quebec submits a reply to the Quebec Court of Appeal.
