First Nations Leadership Council (FNLC) statement on BILL 26 (2018) – Child, Family and Community Service Amendment Act

Yesterday the Government of BC introduced amendments to the CFCSA in Bill C-26. These amendments have some promising components.
We welcome amendments to the Child, Family and Community Service Amendment Act (CFCSA)  in that they provide communities the opportunities for direct involvement with the Ministry of Child and Family Development (MCFD) when dealing with their children and families; however, we have a number of serious concerns.
