Canada’s opposition parties back ending the Indian Act’s second-generation cutoff, expanding status eligibility and potentially adding 22,000 to the registry.
All four opposition parties in Canada’s House of Commons support ending the second-generation cutoff in the Indian Act, allowing status to be passed down through any registered parent.
The expanded Senate-passed Bill S-2, initially targeting 3,500 people, could add up to 22,000 to the registry in its first year.
Indigenous groups back the change and seek federal funding for community integration, while Conservative MP Billy Morin urges the Liberal government to act to avoid legal challenges.
The Liberals acknowledge the need for reform but say more consultations are needed, a stance criticized as delaying by Indigenous leaders and opposition MPs.
