The federal government wants to artificially increase the number of Aboriginals eligible for government {taxpayer} support:
“The ‘Indigenous’ {sic} Services minister said that the federal government will be looking to ‘reform’ the {racist} Indian Act due to ‘registration inequities’ that still exist in the law.
{The only ‘reform’ of the Indian Act that is needed is its repeal, along with the removal of all distinctions between Aboriginals and the rest of Canadians in our Constitution and law.}
“{Some} ‘First Nations’ {Indian tribes} have been asking for a solution for decades as the second-generation cut-off has prevented the ability to transmit status to children and grandchildren simply because of the person with whom they chose to parent”,
‘Indigenous’ Services minister Patty Hajdu said on Monday.
“Today, we are establishing an ‘Indigenous’ Advisory Process to inform the upcoming Collaborative Process on second-generation cut-off. This process is the next step in the co-development of reforms to address registration inequities that remain within the Indian Act.”
“The concept of a ‘second-generation cut-off’ was introduced in 1985 as part of the ‘Bill C-31’ amendments through the creation of two general categories of Indian registration and the related ability to transmit rights to children.
“This process is the next step in the co-development of reforms to address registration inequities that remain within the Indian Act”,
she said.
“We recognize that the second-generation cut-off continues to have deep impacts on ‘First Nation’ individuals, communities and families and we acknowledge that there are persisting inequities with regards to registration within the Indian Act.”
“Hajdu added that the move also reaffirms the federal government’s commitment to bringing federal laws into alignment with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of ‘Indigenous’ People (UNDRIP) {Without the approval of the Canadian people!}…”
–‘Feds looking to modify Indian Act’,

From 2014:
Still Trying To Make Segregation Work:
‘Changes Made to Canada’s ‘Indian Act’
“There are a couple of national discussions that few governments want to risk political capital to wade into — one is the Constitution, the other is the Indian Act.
“‘Conservative’ {Party} MP Rob Clarke decided he’d dip his toe into the latter three years ago with a private member’s bill, after hearing for years from aboriginal leaders how reviled the Indian Act was.
“Last week, his ‘Indian Act Amendment and Replacement Act’ became law. Clarke — a member of Saskatchewan’s Muskeg Lake ‘First Nation’ {a ‘nation’ of 2,072 people} — says he’s proud to be the first aboriginal person to record such a legislative achievement.
“I thought well, let’s start a dialogue nobody’s actually taken…on, head on”,
Clarke said in an interview.
“I thought it would be better for a ‘First Nations’ [person] to stake this forward and create some substantial change, but also to create some dialogue between government and ‘First Nations’ {Indian tribes}.”
“The legislation repeals long-outdated references to residential schools in the Indian Act, and removes a reference to restricting certain people on reserves from trade {Which hadn’t been enforced in decades}.
“The Bill also give Bands the responsibility to manage the publication of their bylaws on the Internet, in the ‘Canada Gazette’, or other venues.
“The bylaw issue recently came up in Saskatchewan, when home moving companies complained that they were being charged by a Band for driving on ‘their roads’ {Roads paid for by taxpayers}, but were not able to view the rule in print…
“But the central feature of Clarke’s bill is the requirement that the aboriginal affairs minister appear at a Commons committee every year to report on his or her progress in developing a replacement for the Indian Act.
“The Indian Act itself is extremely unpopular, but crafting an alternative has been a political challenge {Just repeal the damn thing!!!}.
“The prime minister’s own attempt to reform funding for ‘First Nations’ education evaporated this year as talks between the federal government and aboriginal leaders came to a standstill.
“Many ‘First Nations’ voices criticized Clarke’s bill as a piecemeal attempt to address the problem, without the proper ‘consultation’ required under the Constitution.
“While it may be difficult {‘impossible’} to speak to every ‘First Nation’ in the country, there is a need to ensure that ‘First Nations’ voices are heard and that every effort is made to speak with those ‘First Nations’ who hold the ‘rights’ and will be impacted”,
Assembly of ‘First Nations’ B.C. regional chief {and daughter of B.C.’s most powerful – and ‘Liberal’ Party connected – Indian chief} and now ‘Liberal’ {Party} candidate {hand-picked by Trudeau Junior} Jody Wilson-Raybould told a Commons committee.
“Clarke says it’s unreasonable to think an MP would have the resources to do widespread national consultations {The whole concept is unreasonable…}. He said he did travel across the country and wrote to all ‘First Nations’ reserves, looking for their input.
“Yeah, I received a lot of criticism, however there was {sic} also a lot of people who said, it’s about time something was done, and actually somebody taking charge and trying to make effective change”,
Clarke said.
{Keeping a racist piece of anachronistic legislation is NOT ‘making effective change.}
“Saskatchewan Sen. LILLIAN DYCK {‘Liberal’, appointed by Paul Martin, from George Gordon ‘First Nation’, a ‘nation’ of 3,643 people} used stronger {racist} language recently when she said Clarke was
“behaving like a white man”
by pushing the Bill. She later said she recognized the comment could be ‘hurtful’.
{But she still hasn’t acknowledged the racism in her remark and has not been censured or called out by the Senate or anyone else for such blatant racism…}
“Others have suggested that the impetus for overhauling the Indian Act should come from ‘First Nations’ themselves — a position that Clarke bristles at.
“When (NDP MP) Jean Crowder stands up in the House and says this has to be aboriginally led, from aboriginal to aboriginal, I say, hold on there — I’m native, I’m ‘First Nations’, why can’t I do this?”
said Clarke…
–‘Aboriginal MP sees controversial bill to change Indian Act become law’,
Jennifer Ditchburn, The Canadian Press, Dec 22, 2014
“Bill C-428, the Indian Act Amendment and Replacement Act, received Royal Assent on December 17, 2014.”
‘BILL C-428’:
http://www.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&DocId=6314932
^^^^^^^^^^^^
“First, some history.
“The private members’ bill was brought forward by Rob Clarke, the ‘Conservative’ {Party} Member of Parliament from Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River in Saskatchewan. Clarke is a member of the Muskeg Lake ‘First Nation’. He was a career RCMP officer who has spoken about the problems of living under the Indian Act.
“The Bill does not necessarily repeal the Indian Act, but calls for its eventual negotiated replacement. Or, as the Bill reads:
“It also requires the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development to report annually to the House of Commons committee responsible for aboriginal affairs on the work undertaken by his or her department in collaboration with ‘First Nations’ and other interested parties to develop new legislation to replace the Indian Act.”
“But the new law does not only seek to replace the Indian Act. It also seeks to remove outdated provisions of the Indian Act. It repeals provisions of the Indian Act that led to the residential schools experience. It also eliminates Indian Act provisions requiring ministerial sign-off on Band bylaws. In other words, the new law repeals some of the most paternalistic and condescending parts of the Indian Act.
{But why does this segregationist piece of legislation still exist at all?}
“It is also a step forward for transparency. The law requires the publication of Band bylaws in a ‘First Nations’ gazette or similar publication where the public may view them. Too often, Band members complain about lack of access to what the Band council is up to. This new law will change that.
{No, it didn’t…

“What is odd is that MANY ‘FIRST NATIONS’ LEADERS AND ACTIVISTS LED THE CHARGE IN OPPOSING THE NEW LAW. The Indian Act is certainly reviled within the aboriginal community. The only other law to receive more scorn is the failed 1969 ‘White Paper’.
{Yes, they oppose anything that would end segregation and their tax exemptions…and their Race-Based power…}
‘First Nations’ leaders have made grandiose statements about replacing the Indian Act in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
“In 2010, Shawn Atleo, then national chief of the Assembly of ‘First Nations’ (A‘FN’), made national headlines when he demanded that the Indian Act be replaced within two to five years…
“Instead of opposing this new law, Manitoba ‘First Nations’ leaders should look to it as an opportunity to contribute to the discussion about replacing this anachronistic piece of legislation.
“‘Indigenous’ {sic} leaders in this province and across Canada need to seek a tradition of honourable compromise and find a way to move beyond the legislation.
” ‘First Nations’ need to give and take and work with the government, not against it.”
