On June 21, 2019, the Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families (AKA, Bill-C 92) became an official law, and on January 1, 2020, its provisions came into force.

About the act:

Co-developed with the Assembly of First Nations:

  • affirms the rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to exercise jurisdiction over child and family services

  • establishes national principles such as the best interests of the child, cultural continuity and substantive equality

  • contributes to the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

  • provides an opportunity for Indigenous peoples to choose their own solutions for their children and families
