Canada makes sweeping changes to Jordan’s Principle after CHRT ruling

Canada announced significant changes to Jordan's Principle on February 10, impacting funding for First Nations children to limit non-urgent requests and backlog issues.
Cindy Blackstock criticized the changes, stating they lack evidence and undermine the urgent needs of First Nations children overall.
The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal expressed concern over the misuse of the program, highlighting that some requests under Jordan's Principle had become too broad.
Ernest, Jordan's father, condemned the program's misuse, stating that urgent funding needs for children were being delayed, thus tarnishing the legacy of the initiative named after his child.
