"Carding (police policy) - Wikipedia": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carding_(…
"Carding programs have been shown to consume a considerable amount of police resources, with little to no verifiable results on the level of crime"
"Indigenous filmmaker is calling for fines and jail time for those falsely claiming to be Indigenous" -- whose resources are going to pay for this program?
“Having a regulatory framework in place to say who is and isn’t Indigenous — or to police people trying to assert Indigenous heritage — opens up the potential for abuse,” Lee noted. “I have a colleague who is Indigenous, but her First Nation was declared extinct."
@Pam_Palmater -- how would that have worked out for Frank? He seemed to know how that would work out . 432 RCAP report - Frank Palmater - aboriginal ancestry = acceptance from whose community.? Those communities do not want to accept anyone who doesn't have a Federal stamped 
approval card. / indigenousfoundations.arts.ubc.ca/aboriginal_ide… -- so who gets to choose who is legitimately Indigenous?
So unless you are going to make all Indigenous programs Status specific only, I think you are going to have quite the time writing this law and not going against laws already established.
I also bet Michelle Latimer, once she got her affairs in order, also would meet the constitutional definition of an Indigenous person. Until the Gov recently changed Bills like C-31 and S-3, many of those persons wouldn't have been able to establish their identities either.
Once again, who is going to pay for this program? I haven't heard one word about that? Tax payers? Federal? Provincial? @APTNNews I would ask Tamara Bell herself, anyone know her twitter handle?
