Tribunal orders Canada to fix Jordan's Principle backlog
The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled Canada must address a growing backlog of Jordan's Principle requests for First Nations children. It demanded a detailed plan with timelines by December 10 and urged creation of an independent complaints mechanism while allowing interim measures. The ruling cites delays in urgent cases and slow reimbursements by Indigenous Services, with statements from Caring Society and government officials.
