Kwey,
I hope everyone is well. This is just a short check in.
It has now hit the seven month mark and the judge has yet to render her decision in my motion that the Indian Act discriminates against children whose father’s signature is not on their birth certificates. I am hoping this part of the process comes sooner versus later.
Thank you for the help regarding my petition. I now have over 2700 signatures.
