Thank you, Minister.
I can advise you that the tribunal ordered the federal government to immediately cease the discrimination and immediately cease its narrow implementation of something called Jordan's principle. Since the ruling, the government has until February 22 to file a judicial review. To this point, they have not ruled out the filing of a judicial review.
We were proactive because we're concerned about children. One day with inequity in the life of a child is one day too many. Back in January, before the the ruling ever came out, we actually were proactive. We mined those previous studies whose recommendations the government had agreed to, and also the Auditor General's reports, and created first steps. These would not deal with the depth of the inequality but would stop some of the most egregious harms to children. We have sent those to the government. We have yet to receive a response on that. The tribunal has asked us to make submissions on immediate remedies by this Thursday, and we are planning to do so.
