This is framework legislation, and in the legislation there's nothing that has any principles of funding. It's been mentioned before that the funding is not really in the legislation. There are some principles to the funding in the preamble, which is not part of the legislation. Then, of course, there's the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal on indigenous children in care, and it has some clear principles put forth by that group.
Should we have principles within the legislation that hold the government to account to make sure that indigenous children across this country get fair and equitable funding?
