Perhaps the government should ask Cindy Blackstock and the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal what is required to meet their obligations. Minister Bennett should immediately commit to spending $200 million this year and to fully implement Jordan's Principle. Then she can talk about future improvements and commitments.

This announcement sounds, at best, like more foot-dragging. At worst, it appears they've found a tame Indian to help them 'consult' the reasons they don't need to comply with the Tribunal's ruling.
