Jordan's Principle
What is Jordan's Principle?
Jordan's Principle is about ensuring First Nations receive the services they need when they need them.
Jordan's Principle:
- Applies to all First Nations children on- and off-reserve, status and non-status.
- Applies to all public services, including services that are beyond the normative standard of care to ensure substantive equity.
- Involves all governments. Although a jurisdictional dispute is not necessary.
- Provides payment for needed services by the government or department that first receives the request
The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) is responsible for administering Jordan’s Principle resources in British Columbia. This approach however does not limit or relieve the federal government of its fiduciary responsibilities to First Nations in BC.
