I'm going to go specifically to indigenous children, because there is a connection, I believe. We know indigenous children today are many times more likely to be taken from their families and placed into the foster care system than are non-indigenous children. These children are vulnerable under legacies of colonialism and the illegal taking of these children from their lands and their resources through Canada's residential school system, the sixties scoop and continued systematic removal of children from their families into foster care by provincial governments.
We know that people who have been in care are far more likely to experience homelessness and mental health crises. You talked about the economic opportunities and the changing of the course. Ralph Nilson, the president of Vancouver Island University, offered free tuition for children coming out of care, and that has changed the lives of these youth. Now the B.C. NDP is doing that.
Do you think that Canada could play a role in helping to support, specifically, children coming out of care to end this terrible legacy that we have going on right now? I believe what you're talking about is embedded in the truth and reconciliation calls to action numbers one to nine. Maybe you could speak a bit about the importance of senior levels of government helping these students.
