Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Minister, I wish you well on that side of the table. You have onerous responsibilities.
I brought this motion to the committee largely to assess whether the level of funding to first nations child and family services on reserve is comparable to the funding for child and family services off reserve.
I understand that the tripartite agreements signed to date have included additional federal funding. You referenced $450 million, but you also said in there “when it's fully implemented”. Has this brought, or will it bring, the level of funding up to a comparable level?
