Canadian Human Rights Tribunal Dismisses Assembly of First Nations Complaint
The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed the complaint filed by the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and the First Nation Child and Family Caring Society of Canada (Caring Society). The complaint was based on the lower level of service being provided for First Nation children in foster care on-reserves, who fall under federal jurisdiction, than that provided to children in foster care off reserve.

The headline is misleading. As the body of the posting correctly states the complaint was dismissed by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal not the Canadian Human Rights Commission. The Commission and the Tribunal are separate and independent bodies. In fact the Commission argued against dismissal and is now seeking judicial review of the Tribunal ruling.
Thank You for alerting us to this headline. The necessary changes have been made.
