Mr. Speaker, Sharon McIvor recently won a landmark case at the British Columbia Supreme Court through the court challenges program.
The decision affects the status of thousands of aboriginal women who, by an act of Parliament, were improperly denied Indian status. First, this meanspirited government stayed the decision, and now it is appealing the decision.
The government cut the court challenges program. Now Ms. McIvor has no recourse for the appeal.
Will the government reinstate the court challenges program?
