The mother was receiving Canada Child Benefits for her son, who was taken at birth in 2019. Usually benefits stop when a child is apprehended. That didn't happen in this case.
In the previous article on
the Act respecting First
Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and
families ( Bill C-92 )
the
formation, foundations, and overall structure of Bill C-92 was
discussed as it related to the legal aspects of child and family
services in Canada. Stated briefly, the Bill C-92 s key driver
was to provide protections for Indigenous children and families and
establish a pathway for Indigenous groups and communities to be
able to administer their own child welfare and family services in
Canada. Given that Bill C-92 came into force on January 1, 2020 it
is now nearing its first anniversary as active legislation.
