Co-developing distinctions-based Indigenous health legislation (Indigenous health legislation)
In September 2020, the Government of Canada committed to co-develop Indigenous health legislation with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, in collaboration with the provinces and territories. In his mandate letter, the Minister of Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) committed to fully implementing Joyce’s Principle and ensuring that it guides the work of co-developing distinctions-based Indigenous health legislation to support access to high-quality, culturally appropriate health services.
The main objectives of this process are to facilitate access to high quality, culturally appropriate health services for Indigenous peoples in Canada and to ensure that provincial health services take into consideration the particularities and realities of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. ISC publicly launched the engagement process on January 28, 2021.
