Court faulted funding denial for mould remediation under Jordan’s Principle
Federal Court found Indigenous Services Canada acted unreasonably by treating a health care need as housing work and denying mould removal for two First Nations children. Justice McDonald ruled the home condition is unhealthy and central to health, noting no financial cap on Jordan’s Principle requests and no evidence quotations were excessive. Ottawa faces ongoing concerns over delays and narrow application of the principle.
