Zoë testifies to Senate Indigenous Committee

Zoë Craig-Sparrow, Vice President of Justice for Girls, testified to the Senate regarding the amending Bill S-2 in the Indian Act.

“I fundamentally disagree with any suggestion that there is a cohesive position from Indigenous Peoples that it is best to move forward on Bill S-2 as is and address the second-generation cut-off later. You cannot end discrimination incrementally. We cannot ensure equality for a few, and then wait years, if ever, for another bill to pass where piecemeal amendments are made and substantive equality remains a pipe dream, especially not when we have the opportunity here to do both.”
