Okay, thanks.
It's felt that by providing direct services into homes, families can stay together, and fewer children will come into care.
My last point is that any legislation must come into effect with appropriate financial resources to make it effective. This doesn't necessarily mean more money; perhaps it means a more flexible way of using resources. For example, we have new provincial legislation coming into effect in June, and it's much improved. However, they've identified a large role for an indigenous representative for ensuring cultural continuity, engaging indigenous governments etc., but the expectation is that the indigenous governments will carry this role with no financial resources given. Having this position will potentially mean fewer children coming into care or leaving their community, or children returning to families more quickly, so the upfront cost is minimal in the scheme of things.
Thanks for taking the time to listen.
