Bill C33 - First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act on hold

The Harper government has announced through the Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt that it will be putting the First Nation education bill on
hold until the Assembly of First Nations clarifies its position regarding the
bill after the surprise resignation of Shawn Atleo on May 2, 2014.

Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt’s office said in a
statement that Bill C-33 would be put on hold.

“Given the recent resignation of the national chief, following
today’s second reading vote, any further consideration of this
legislation will be put on hold until the AFN clarifies its position,”
said the minister’s office.
