Last year, Louis Bull’s child welfare organization said Alberta wasn’t co-operating and didn’t want to sign the agreement.Ottawa passed the legislation in 2020 with a focus on prevention so families can receive support to remain together. It allows First Nations to bypass co-ordination agreements with provincial governments if no consensus is met one year after a request.
Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan was the first to sign an agreement in 2021. Wabaseemoong Independent Nations in Ontario and Peguis First Nation in Manitoba have also signed agreements with Ottawa and their provincial governments.“This is an important day for Louis Bull Tribe,” Chief Desmond Bull said during the signing on Wednesday. “Our children are sacred. This law seeks to bring them home.
“Although this is only a two-year agreement, it gives us the base and the foundation for us to look forward to developing something stronger, something more permanent, something that will allow that bilateral agreement to continue.”
