On May 29, 2025, the Senate introduced Bill S-2: An Act to Amend the Indian Act (new registration entitlements). This Bill will address outstanding inequities around status registration and enfranchisement for individuals and their descendants, natal band membership for women, voluntary relinquishment of status, and update outdated language related to dependant people. If passed, as many as 3500 individuals could be eligible for status who were previously ineligible.
