flag Canada's bill to end second-generation status cutoff passes second reading, aiming to fix gender inequities in Indigenous rights.

flag A Canadian bill aiming to eliminate the second-generation cutoff in First Nations status eligibility has passed second reading in the House of Commons and is now under review by the Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee. flag The legislation, originally Bill S-2, seeks to grant status to children of registered Indigenous parents regardless of the other parent’s status, addressing long-standing gender inequities in the Indian Act. flag While supported by all opposition parties and backed by UN recommendations, concerns remain over implementation timing and the need for thorough consultation, with no final timeline set for changes.
