25.4. The status of beneficiary of a person who, before 1 May 2006, was enrolled or entitled to be enrolled because of the person’s status as the lawful spouse of an Inuit beneficiary may be reviewed by the appropriate community enrollment committee provided for in section 25.7, if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the person no longer has sufficient ties with the Inuit community following a divorce, a legal separation, a de facto separation or the death of the person’s spouse having occurred on 1 May 2006 or after that date.
De facto separation is proven by a declaration under oath signed by the spouse or another interested beneficiary attesting that the spouses have been separated for at least one year.
