On March 23, 2026, the Tribunal granted in part the National Children's Chiefs Commission's (NCCC) Interested Party Status motion, in a letter decision with reasons to follow. 

On March 13, 2026 the Attorney General of Canada submitted its written response to the NCCC's motion for interested party status, stating the NCCC should not be granted interested party status in this proceeding. Canada argues that as the third body tasked with acting as the principal voice of the First Nations-in-Assembly in these proceedings, the NCCC’s intervention is unnecessary, disproportionate, and will result in duplication, disorder and delay. 

On March 13, 2026 COO and NAN submitted their joint response to the Tribunal regarding the NCCC's Notion of Motion seeking interested Party Status, stating there is no reason to allow the NCCC to participate to the proceedings as they represent the same interests as the AFN and therefore, there would be two bodies representing the same interests. 

On March 13, 2026 the AFN submitted it's response to the Tribunal regarding the NCCC's Notice of Motion seeking Interested Party status, maintaining it's position that the NCCC should be given the opportunity to participate but also clarifying their role and relationship with the NCCC.

On March 13, 2026 the Caring Society submitted its position to the Tribunal supporting the NCCC Notice of Motion seeking interested party status. 

On March 3, 2026, the National Children's Chiefs Commission (NCCC) filed its amended Motion of Notice to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal seeking Interested Party Status following the Tribunal's instructions.

On February 23, 2026, the Tribunal directed the NCCC to re‑file a streamlined Notice of Motion with written submissions, noting that all previously filed materials will not be considered.

The Caring Society, with support from the National Children's Chiefs Commission (NCCC) and the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), filed the Loving Justice National Plan to end Canada’s discrimination in First Nations Child and Family Services (outside of Ontario) with the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal pursuant to 2025 CHRT 80. 

Along with the Loving Justice National Plan, the Caring Society filed the affidavit of Dr. Cindy Blackstock. 

On February 10th, 2026 the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal issued, 2026 CHRT 12, ruling on the inaudible recordings and missing transcripts.
