In 2016, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal found that the federal government willfully and recklessly discriminated against Indigenous children living on reserves by failing to provide funding for child and family services.

In September 2021 the FCA dismissed the application. How do you envisage the future of the indigenous rights after these decisions and how does it affect the process of reconciliation?
