  • "In issuing this report, the Commission is promoting the resolution of a long-standing and unacceptable gap in human rights protection. A solution to this issue may or may not result in more responsibilities for the Commission. The Commission does not have a proprietary interest in how this problem is resolved. Its only concern is that it is resolved. The Commission recognizes that traditional First Nation systems of governance already incorporate human rights principles. Futhermore, the Commission does not believe that section 67 must be repealed because First Nations have a special problem regarding discrimination. There are problems of discrimination in First Nation communities, but this is not unique to First Nations, as the Commission's work amply illustrates."--Introduction."
  • ""It is time to repeal section 67 of the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA). It's a matter of rights. As a result of section 67, some First Nations1 people living on reserve are denied full access to the human rights complaint resolution system available to other people in Canada. Section 67, part of the original 1977 CHRA legislation, was to be a temporary measure, a short-term expedient. Twenty-eight years later, it is still in place. Human rights legislation, which includes provisions for the redress of human rights complaints, has been enacted in Canada at the federal, provincial and territorial levels. While issues of effectiveness and access remain, generally, any Canadian who believes that they have been the victim of discrimination can file a complaint with a human rights commission or tribunal. Any Canadian, that is, except those who happen to be a member of a First Nation living on lands governed under the Indian Act. These Canadians have been left out of the human rights protection that others take for granted."
