Jordan’s Principle – Equal Access

InFocus on APTN National News:

Parliament’s unanimous adoption of Jordan’s Principle was supposed to mean children living on reserve would get the same access to health supports as all other children who live off reserve.

But 7 years later families living in First Nation communities still have to fight for equality of services.

What are the issues standing in the way?

Is the government’s definition of who qualifies fair and reasonable?

Representatives from neither Health Canada nor Aboriginal Affairs would go on-camera and answer our questions.

But our guests sure have a lot to say!

We put Trina Roache’s series, Outside the Circle: the Status of Jordan’s Principle, InFocus.
