It's a sad omission; anyone researching the subject as a whole would be horrified to find that the policies were applied to indigenous populations with devastating effects. In terms of sources that are instantly available online, the easiest one to get at is: http://canadiangenocide.nativeweb.org/genocide.pdf
No, it isn't a perfect source, but it will be enough to inspire some of you to track down peer-reviewed articles and hardbound books (I hope). For first person accounts and various quotations on compulsory sterilization as applied to the indigenous people of Canada you can rapidly glance at p. 43-48 onward of the book just linked to. In that source, both the specific laws are named (and you can get primary source of the laws online) and also eye-witness accounts are quoted, along with descriptions of the specific hospitals and schools that carried out the sterilizations, etc.

Today, I copyedited the article, added citations, and removed extraneous details. I also included stats on the sterilization of aboriginals as requested in a previous post. Asordi (talk) 21:53, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
