NationTalk – The Manitoba Government is seeking a Judicial Review of a Manitoba Human Rights Commission decision that found a First Nations family was discriminated against because they could not access provincial health care and related services on reserve announced Indigenous and Northern Relations Minister Eileen Clarke. “A judicial review of this decision will bring much needed attention to the legal obligations of federal and provincial governments, and bring clarity to this important issue.” This indicates that 13 years after Jordan’s Principle was unanimously passed in 2007, the federal and provincial governments have still not established clearly established protocols for administering Jordan’s Principle in practice.
