Proposed New Law Governing Ratification Votes

TO ALL MEMBERS

Proposed New Law Governing Ratification Votes

As most of you will be aware, HIFN’s Membership Code Working Group has developed a new “restated” membership code intended to replace our existing 1987 Code. The Restated Code will complete the process of taking sovereignty over membership, get rid of the old code’s reliance on the Indian Act and give effect to with our own beliefs about who belongs on our membership list.

Tabling Resolution: Henvey Inlet First Nation Member Ratification Protocol

BACKGROUND

  1. Council wishes to establish a custom-based process for the ratification by eligible voters of matters of importance to Henvey Inlet First Nation in cases where no ratification process is prescribed by law.
  2. Council has adopted the proposed law attached as Schedule “A” to this tabling resolution entitled “HIFN Member Ratification Protocol” as an appropriate minimum standard for ratification votes in the absence of other standards. The proposed law will benefit Henvey Inlet First Nation by removing uncertainty where a matter requires ratification by the eligible voters but no threshold for accepting the results of a vote is prescribed by law.
  3. Council intends to proceed with enactment only if the draft law receives the approval of the eligible voters.
