The process involves 1-2 representatives from 17 Indigenous organizations across Canada, including national, regional, youth, and women’s groups. These representatives work with communities affected by the second-generation cut-off.

Rights-Holders Information Sharing Kit
The Rights-Holders Information Sharing Kit helps First Nations and impacted Indigenous rights-holders prepare for consultations on the second-generation cut-off and section 10 voting thresholds. The kit provides detailed information on these topics and is shared through mail, email, and online.
Community-specific data sheets have been created to show the impact of the second-generation cut-off on each First Nation’s registered population. You can view your community’s data sheet on Open Data or contact the Registration Reform team at Reforme-de-linscription-Registration-Reform@sac-isc.gc.ca.
