Call to Action # 41: Justice (25-42)

BC Assembly of First Nations

October 4, 2021

The BCAFN is disappointed that calls to implement the National Inquiry’s Calls for Justice fully and swiftly have so far been ignored by the provincial and federal governments. It’s been over two years since the National Inquiry released the Calls for Justice, and neither Canada nor BC has an implementation plan in place to see the Calls for Justice implemented in partnership with Indigenous peoples. While many valuable initiatives were noted in the National Action Plan released on June 3, 2021, the Plan was notably missing concrete components required for implementation, and this has yet to be rectified.
