AFN to Co-Develop Legislation to Benefit First Nations, Inuit, and Metis Families and Children

The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) intends to partner with Indigenous Services Canada Minister Jane Philpott and leaders of the Inuit Tapariit Kanatami and Métis Nation to co-develop legislation that will benefit First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children and families. New legislation must focus on prevention rather than apprehension and be developed for the unique needs of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. More information will be available at the AFN Special Chiefs Assembly in December.
