« «Nous savons, d’après les propres estimations du Canada, qu’il y a au moins 40 000 demandes [et] jusqu’à 80 000 demandes qui n’ont même pas été ouvertes ou examinées, a souligné en entrevue Cindy Blackstock, directrice générale de la Société. // La dernière motion de Mme Blackstock allègue que le Canada viole les ordonnances antérieures du tribunal exigeant qu’Ottawa corrige le sous-financement et mette correctement en œuvre le principe de Jordan.» »

The government continues to fund Jordan’s principle, but there are significant delays, putting children’s lives at risk, according to Indigenous leaders and organizations.
“Indigenous Services Canada is taking longer to respond to urgent requests to get First Nations children access to medical care and social services and it’s putting lives at risk, critics say.”

Jordan's Principle - Indigenous Services Canada
“Jordan’s Principle makes sure all First Nations children living in Canada can access the products, services and supports they need, when they need them. Funding can help with a wide range of health, social and educational needs, including the unique needs that First Nations Two-Spirit and LGBTQQIA children and youth and those with disabilities may have.// Jordan’s Principle is named in memory of Jordan River Anderson. He was a young boy from Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba.”
