Minister Ambrose, another problem exists when you consider that the provinces, territories and federal government do not have a harmonized approach to dealing with the children. Children in aboriginal communities are often taken away from their families, not because they are being mistreated, but because they are living in poverty. So the child is removed from the home.
It is no different than the residential school situation, for which the government had to apologize to aboriginal communities. We will see the same thing happen in 20 years' time. We will have the same problem because children are being sent off to live somewhere else, where they are not being taught their culture, their values or their traditions. Are you going to do anything about that?
