Thank you.
Ms. Murphy, you're the chairperson of the Child and Youth Permanency Council of Canada. You mentioned the 30,000 who are in child welfare.
I represent the region of Treaty 9, and child welfare is a very dark word in our region. We have lost so many beautiful children to a system in which it didn't seem like those children mattered.
I think of Courtney Scott, who was 16 years old. She was taken with her sister from Fort Albany and died in a fire in a house in Orléans, 2,000 kilometres from her family. We lost our child advocate in Ontario. Doug Ford fired Irwin Elman. We are very concerned in our region about children being taken out.
You have talked about kinship and customary care. How do you see that we make sure that the children who have to be taken from their parents, maybe because of drugs, violence or other problems, are still able to be cared for in the kind of loving, cultural support that they are entitled to and that our society must insist on?
