There are six tasks that you can do to support the “6(1)a All the Way!” Campaign:
1.) E-mail or telephone Prime Minister Justin Trudeau; Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, David Lametti; Minister of International Development and Minister for Women and Gender Equality, Maryam Monsef; and Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, Carolyn Bennett, asking them to implement the UN Human Rights Committee decision in McIvor and pass an Order in Council bringing the outstanding provisions of Bill S-3 into force.
Here is a suggested text:
I am contacting you to call for the immediate removal of all sex discrimination from the Indian Act. I urge you to bring the outstanding sections of Bill S-3 into force before June 21, 2019. Discrimination against First Nations women has no place in Canada.
