Video Explanation:

On February 25, 2013, the Canadian Government appears before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to answer allegations that it is discriminating against First Nations children by providing flawed and inequitable child welfare services on reserve. Children and young people from across Canada prepared this video so that the Tribunal could understand why this case is important to all children in Canada but the Canadian Government opposed it. This is the children's video that the Government of Canada did not want the Tribunal.
