On May 10, 2016 the Government of Canada responded to the Tribunal's order to immediately implement the full meaning and scope of Jordan's Principle. As described on the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada website, the government has expanded its application of Jordan's Principle to:

  • eliminate the requirement that the First Nations child  on reserve must have multiple disabilities that require multiple service providers
  • apply to all jurisdictional disputes and now includes those between federal government departments

It also declared that "appropriate services for any Jordan's principle case will not be delayed due to case conferencing or policy review."
