Did You Know? Jordan’s Principle Jordan River Anderson was a little boy from Norway House Cree Nation, who upon discharge would require specialized at-home care. The government of Manitoba and the federal government argued over who should pay for Jordan’s at-home care for over 2 years—leaving the little boy in the hospital while the governments argued over payment (when he could have been at home). Jordan died before he could return to his home. He was 5 years old. Following this tragedy, Jordan’s Principle was implemented as the result of a private members bill unanimously passed by parliament in 2007 and is referred to as a child-first initiative. If the family of a First Nations child feels they are not receiving the health care services or supplies that child needs, they must contact regional authorities and make a request under Jordan’s Principle. Contact information is also provided on the https://www.canada.ca website. Jordan’s Principle initially stated that if there is a disagreement between two governments (e.g., provinces/territories/federal government) or two departments within a government about who should pay for services needed by a Status Indian child—and is available to other Canadian children—the government or government department first contacted to procure that service must pay. After that, the government or government department can seek reimbursement according to jurisdictional protocol. Therefore the needs of the child are met first. How effectively this principle has been applied in the last decade was not without controversy with some cases going to the human rights tribunal. In 2017, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal issued a ruling that included an expanded and amended definition of Jordan’s Principle. The adjusted principle includes the provisions that: First Nations children qualify regardless of the place of residence—on or off a reserve, and it is not limited to children with disabilities (note the original document stated the child must be a Status Indian). The services required must be provided and paid for by the department/organization first contacted without conferencing, review of policies, or other administrative procedures, avoiding delays in implementing a requested service. If a service requested is outside of the standard parameters of services to other children, the department contacted must ensure equality of culturally appropriate services to that child are provided. Jordon’s Principal may still apply in some situations not involving jurisdictional or interdepartmental payment/service provision disputes. In 2016-2017 there were over 33,000 requests for products, services and support approved under Jordan’s Principle. Source: Blackstock, C. (2008). Jordan’s principle: Editorial update.
