@EdwinG I think the correct wording is a stay on certifiying the petition until First Nation's cases against it is decided.
(the deadline for votes in in May and this continues, the govt is prevented from certifying that the petition has or not reached the number of signatures required. But sgnatures still being received and counted.

@EdwinG
First sentence of actual article:

So the headline is really bad.
