Le processus de collaboration sur l’exclusion après la deuxième génération et les seuils de vote en vertu de l’article 10
Services aux Autochtones Canada lance le processus de collaboration visant à trouver des solutions à des questions importantes ayant un impact sur les Premières Nations :
- L’exclusion après la deuxième génération
- Les seuils de vote en vertu de l’article 10
Services aux Autochtones Canada a créé une trousse d’information, qui vise à fournir des informations et un soutien précoces et continus aux titulaires de droits en vue de la préparation de la consultation. Cette trousse contient des informations sur l’exclusion après la deuxième génération, les seuils de vote en vertu de l’article 10, des données spécifiques aux communautés et d’autres informations pertinentes relatives au processus de collaboration.
In 2019, the Minister’s Special Representative (MSR) for the Collaborative Process on Indian Registration, Band Membership and First Nation Citizenship, reported that “unquestionably, the inequity of greatest concern that was raised throughout the collaborative process was the second-generation cut-off, [and that] this issue will impact all First Nation communities at various times and in varying degrees to the point that some communities will not have any children eligible for registration [under the Indian Act] within the next generation.” With this urgent risk in mind, the MSR made a clear call to action, “First Nations, in collaboration with the government, must urgently raise awareness of this issue and its impact on First Nation communities.”
Today, Indigenous Services Canada (ISC, also referred to as ‘the Department’) has launched the 2023-2024 Collaborative Process on the Second-Generation Cut-Off and Section 10 Voting Thresholds.
This Collaborative Process includes Phase 1: The Co-Development and Information Sharing Phase and Phase 2: The Consultation Phase.
Phase 1 consists of:
- the Rights-Holders Information Sharing Initiative, which aims to fulfill the Department’s goal of providing early and ongoing information and support to rights-holders, in preparation for consultation; and,
- the Indigenous Advisory Process, which aims to co-develop with Indigenous partner organizations the consultation materials and to provide guidance on developing consultation events, and co-develop how the Department and consultation participants can work together to achieve deep and meaningful consultation and cooperation as set out in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (UNDA)
Canada is committed to meaningful consultation and cooperation with First Nations and will seek recommendations for the best ways to move forward on these issues. If solutions are recommended and supported by First Nations governing bodies and impacted Indigenous Peoples during consultation, Canada will then continue to work cooperatively with First Nations to co-develop legislative amendments that reflect these recommendations.
