Jordan’s Principle: Indigenous Services Canada Failing First Nations Children

Indigenous Services Canada is failing to meet Jordan’s Principle deadlines for providing urgent medical care and social services to First Nations children, putting lives at risk. Data shows that compliance rates have dropped significantly, with the department meeting the 12-hour deadline only 33% of the time during the 2022-23 fiscal year. The Assembly of First Nations and First Nations Child and Family Caring Society are calling on the federal government to immediately address the issue and ensure that First Nations children receive the timely care they need.
