Lac La Ronge Indian Band is urging Ottawa to adopt a one-parent status rule, saying further consultation cannot delay ending discrimination.
LAC LA RONGE INDIAN BAND — The Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLRIB) is calling on the federal government to immediately adopt a one-parent rule for Indian status registration, saying broader consultations on reform must not delay action on what the nation describes as ongoing discrimination against First Nations families.
The push comes after the office of Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty said Ottawa is considering options beyond the single-parent amendment proposed in Bill S-2, with additional consultations planned this summer before legislation advances.
