ROUTINE PROCEEDINGS — Bear Witness Day
Notice of Motion to Recognize May 10 of Each and Every Year as Bear Witness Day
October 22, 2025
Hon. Brian Francis
Honourable senators, I give notice that, at the next sitting of the Senate, I will move:
That the Senate recognize May 10 of each and every year as Bear Witness Day to honour Jordan River Anderson and his family and to raise awareness of Jordan’s Principle and the ongoing challenges that First Nations children and their families face to access products, services and supports due to inequities and jurisdictional disputes within and across governments.
