Thank you.
We do see variation across Canada, but we can say that within every province and territory the majority of indigenous people are living off reserve. It's above 50%. In Ontario it's a little bit higher.
The other thing that I think is really important to note is that while many indigenous people are living on reserve, reserve communities don't often have all of the programs and the services they may require. We see a lot of indigenous people who live on reserve leaving the reserve to access those programs and services. Many of the people we're providing services to in the city of Toronto live here, and many don't. Many who are coming to access programs and services don't, so the on-reserve/off-reserve dichotomy is really not an effective one. It doesn't take into account the demographic shifts of where people live or how people are moving across those jurisdictions to access the programs and services they need.
A big gap is understanding how much of the service provision is actually occurring off reserve and the role of the federal government in funding those services.
