The Supreme Court of B.C.'s refusal to extend a legislated timeline in this case.... I don't read it as a reason to delay addressing other unconstitutional or discriminatory provisions in the Indian Act. If anything, it's just the opposite.
I think what the courts emphasized was that they expect timely, good-faith compliance. They won't indefinitely accommodate legislative inaction in these circumstances. Further delays are not only an inconvenience but something that might throw into jeopardy the momentum that's already been put in motion by the Senate's proposed amendments.
At a minimum, introducing that the second generation cut-off rule be eliminated is required and legally mandated, but it needs to be coupled with a parallel process for recognizing first nation jurisdiction over citizenship immediately.
