Proposed changes to second generation cut-off are in Liberals’ hands
Original article ↗Key figures
Across Canada, 516 First Nations have joined a campaign supporting Bill S-2 and, specifically, the end to the second generation cut-off.
In 2025, the federal government rushed Bill C-5 – its major projects legislation – through to become law in just 20 days.
Yet when it comes to Bill S-2 and removing the second generation cut-off, Gazan accused the minister of using consultation as cover for not supporting the amendments.
Both the House of Commons and Senate need to agree on the final version of Bill S-2 before it can become law.
May 28 was the last time the House of Commons Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee discussed Bill S-2.
