ISC's Jordan's Principle Clampdown Triggered Internal Chaos
Internal documents reveal that federal bureaucrats struggled to understand new rules and shifting eligibility standards set by high-level departmental officials for the Jordan's Principle program.
In February, the federal government moved to rein in spending on Jordan's Principle, a program that pays for health, education, and social services for First Nations children. The costs were climbing fast, from $1.07 billion in 2020-21 to $1.7 billion in 2022-23.
"The volume of requests has outpaced available resources and capacity, creating backlogs and delays. Forecasted expenditures for 2024-2025 are tracking to reach over $2 billion,"
