Notes prepared for the Honourable John C. Munro, P.C., M.P., Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development : Bill C-47, amendments to the Indian Act to end discrimination based on sex : Standing... : R5-573/1984-PDF
"As Committee Members know, there are sections of the Indian Act which clearly discriminate on the basis of sex. Section 12(1)(b) is the most notorious, depriving registered Indian women and consequently their children of status and band membership if they marry a non-Indian. At the same time, an Indian man who marries a non-Indian not only retains his status and band membership, but he confers status to his spouse and children under section 11(1)(f). The so-called "double mother" provision, section 12(1)(a)(iv), requires that persons whose mothers and paternal grandmothers were not status indians by birth will have their status removed by age 21"--p. [1].
