| Summary: | The purposes of Bill C-92 is to recognize Indigenous People’s jurisdiction over child and family services, as part of an inherent and Aboriginal right to self- governance; to establish national standards in this area, in response to the TRC’s Call to Action #4; and to contribute to the implementation of UNDRIP.
