SIGN THE PETITION: END THE SECOND-GENERATION CUT-OFF RULE
The Southern Chiefs’ Organization (SCO) is encouraging citizens, and anyone impacted by the second-generation cut-off rule, to sign a petition calling on Parliament to adopt Bill S-2: An Act to amend the Indian Act (new registration entitlements) as amended by the Senate.
Join the thousands of people who have already signed the petition, before it closes on April 2, 2026.
Sharon McIvor from Vancouver, British Columbia initiated this petition while Member of Parliament Luci Idlout from Nunavut is sponsoring it, so it can be presented in Parliament.
In December 2025, the Senate of Canada unanimously passed changes to Bill S-2 that would remove the second-generation cut-off and the 1985 cut-off in the "Indian Act," and return to a one-parent rule for passing on status.
First Nations leaders, organizations, and families have called for these changes for decades.
Now, the House of Commons must act.
✍️ Sign the petition to help call on Parliament to pass Bill S-2 without delay: Link to the petition appears to have changed: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7200&
