'''The legal landscape of child protection law is changing in Canada.''' | |||
It is important to know about the different laws that could apply to your situation. There are different laws to consider in a child protection case. | |||
'''Federal:''' | |||
An Act Respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis Children, Youth and Families (Bill C-92) | |||
'''Provincial:''' | |||
Child, Family and Community Service Act (CFCSA) | |||
'''Indigenous Laws:''' | |||
Nations have Indigenous laws and traditions and many have or will be enacting their own child protection laws. | |||
<BLOCKQUOTE>"The Federal Act requires that the Indigenous laws and traditions of a child’s own community be reflected in all aspects of caring for that child, even where the Indigenous community has not entered (or may not enter) a process to officially pass their own child welfare law."<BR> | |||
