The Canadian Human Rights Commission has begun hearing cases related to the repeal of Section 67 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.

The exemption that protected human rights challenges on reserves from being filed was lifted in June of last year.

Since that time, the commission has been heavily involved in the high-profile challenge of funding dollars for First Nations students on-reserve.

However, this week marked the start of a wave of other cases.

The first one involves a complaint against the registration provisions in the Indian Act on behalf of a man and his daughter.

The case started on Monday in Surrey, BC.

Other cases coming up include a challenge regarding the provision of police services and facilities on several First Nations, as well as a complaint about a lack of services for special education students on-reserve.

The commission says a total of 201 complaints have been launched against First Nations governments.

A breakdown of these cases, and where they were filed, was unavailable.
