Proposed Kahnawà:ke Family Homes Law Re-enters CDMP

12/05/2019

The Kahnawà:ke Legislative Coordinating Commission (KLCC) would like to inform the community that the proposed Kahnawà:ke Family Home Law (KFHL) has re-entered the Community Decision Making Process as a Type I Law.

The KHFL was created in response to Canada’s Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights (S-2) Act and came into force on December 16, 2014. 

The KFHL was repealed on January 24, 2018 because it was categorized as Urgent and was required to actively re-enter the Regular CDMP within a year of enactment and failed to do so within that one-year timeframe. 

The KFHL Technical Drafting Committee will begin community consultation in the New Year.
